Full Conversation

My son and his friends came to me about him being mistreated by his bus driver. They told me that she does excessive punishment. I did give them permission to video my son the next time they thought they saw excessive punishment. I turned the video over to the principal to document excessive punishment. They did not feel like he was being targeted. They also questioned the students and said the same response. I did contact Human Rights to do an investigation as well. Is the kids' video ok?
