It’s because of slavery.
Parents of a 5 year-old girl are furious. They say security video, taken on a Bamberg school bus, shows her being hit. Now, the 17-year-old accused of hitting her has a warrant out for his arrest. Jasmine’s parents want to know why the high school student was allowed to ride the bus in the first place.
Terry Peters says he immediately noticed the mark on his little girl’s face when he picked her up from after school care on Thursday. “I’m very upset! I’m mad,” Peters said.
He says the daycare workers told him 17 year old Tavon Walters, a high school student, hit his daughter on the bus ride from the schools to the after school program. “He had reached over that seat and telling another girl if you don’t hit her then I’m going to hit her for you,” the father said.
The bus security video shows Walters grabbing another student’s hand and using it to hit Jasmine on the right side of her face. The picture of the mark on Jasmine’s face is on the left side which is why school officials and police are unclear if the teen is responsible for the actual mark in the picture.
“The behavior on the bus was not abnormal,” Phyllis Schwarting said. The Bamberg District One Superintendent says it’s common for all ages of students to share a bus in rural districts. However, Peter’s attorney wants to know why Walters was even allowed to ride the bus.
According to police, he’s on probation and has a history of getting into trouble at school. “We are talking about a kid who is 17 years old much larger than this five year old child history of violence and he is put on the bus with her in close proximity,” Charlie Williams said.
Peters says nobody from the school called him about the alleged assault. The school superintendent On Your Side it’s because the bus driver didn’t notice it.
“It could happen to anybody it could happen to anybody’s child and had I not seen that slap on her face then I would not have known about what that video is showing today,” Jasmine’s father said.
There is a warrant out for Walters. He will be charged with 3rd degree assault. He could also be in trouble at school. The principal is recommending he be expelled.
