Who Is To Blame For Woodson Bus Incident?

Obviously the main party to blame for the entire incident is the child on the bus who attacked the victim, but there seems to be a huge amount of trying to sweep the entire incident under the rug from somewhere. The refusal of the Board to let the parents of the Child attacked see the video of what happened to their child is sickening.

Every single person from Lilly Welch the Principal at Woodson to Marjorie Miles the Superintendent of Schools shares blame in the situation becoming an even bigger deal by their refusal to help solve the problem and instead cry foul that they feel people are pointing the blame on them. The people aren't blaming you for the incident, they are blaming you for your lack of taking control of the situation after it happened.

The entire episode is now being somehow laid on the parents of the child attacked like they should have just shut up about it instead of bringing it to light because of the negative press they are receiving by  others who had been afraid to speak up regarding other issues they have had with the Schools. The parent isn't trying to do anything other than get justice for her son who was beaten on the bus, she isn't trying to get anyone fired which is why now teachers and staff are now being defensive.

The entire situation makes me sick that instead of helping this Mother get the justice she deserves for her kid getting beaten badly on the bus, she now gets treated like a trouble maker who should be spit upon. The Board of Education and the Principal and Staff at Woodson need to make this right for the victim and his family and quit this nonsense. Nobody said you don't do a good job with some other children in your care, but in this case something happened that you need to fix and your behavior and reaction I personally find insulting.
