Lovely story from Indiana, where three teenage boys are accused of treating their school bus like a 1960s workplace. Snip from the Post-Tribune of Portage:
The problems came to light Feb. 5 when one of the males, a 16-year-old, exposed himself on the school bus going home and another male, a 17-year-old, tried to force a girl's face to touch the other boy's genitals. The girl escaped before contact was made, however, according to a police report, and she called her stepfather from a cell phone.
... They would use a body aerosol spray to light pieces of paper on fire. They assaulted three girls in separate incidents, groping them, and at one time one of the 17-year-olds put his hand inside a girl's shirt.
I recall the bus ride to and from school as a basic shark tank. I was in Kindergarten when a guy with a full beard through my Teddy Bear out the window. Bunch of losers.

When I was in school and rode the bus(since walking was usually the choice), if someone had acted like this they would have had the piss beat out of them. How come people let other people get away with this stuff and then the authorities have to get involved. It seems like people just arent' interested in resolving issues simply and quickly anymore.

Yeah, that all sounds good Blarny, but then the a-holes would bring assault charges against you.

WTF... who the hell's driving this bus anyway? A blind, deaf, mute??? I remember the bus drivers I had as a kid... nobody could've or would've got away with these type of shennanigans!

Blarny, don't get me wrong, I agree. I was the type to stick up for the ones getting picked on, for the most part.

I didn't get you wrong spic, I just thought you missed the part about trying to force a girl to touch it etc. Once you lay hands on someone without permission it's assault.
I really didn't know if you just missed the part and just thought they were being douches and how didn't know how far they had gone.
