The school bus driver physically attacked one of the students. The Welkom SAPS station in Thabong, Free State, was reportedly the scene of the incident. The fact that the bus driver was seen physically attacking a young kid has sparked much controversy on social media, as most people would prefer not to think that the driver would ever resort to such behaviour. Quite a few people are outraged by this.
No one in this town can believe an adult would beat a child this young, and they want to know who did it so they can bring them to justice. It’s incomprehensible that an adult would assault a kid so young.
However, as an adult, he was not meant to be punching the child; rather, he was required to try by all means to ensure that the kid is dealt with in a manner that will be favourable and that will set a positive example for the rest of the learners who happened to be on the bus that same day. We are trying to deal with a scenario in which certain people have the opinion that this is largely because the child doesn’t really listen. Here’s the deal: we’re dealing with a scenario in which some people
Now we know they don’t think highly of him because he punched a kid, and he shouldn’t have been so violent; he should have gotten off the bus when the driver asked him to, but there was apparently a big ruckus, and we don’t know a lot about what happened. We can be sure, however, that they do not hold the father in high regard for using physical force on a youngster.
Nonetheless, it has left many people bewildered, asking what could have possibly escalated to the point where the bus driver assaulted that little youngster for no reason at all. People are left wondering what could have possibly occurred here for things to escalate to this point.
