An Ontario bus driver has been fired after allegedly encouraging fifth-grade students to fight during a bus route. Parents and students claim the driver pulled over, instigated fights, and failed to intervene when a child was injured.
Video footage confirmed the driver watched the altercations without stopping them or notifying dispatch. While the bus audio was faulty, the driver’s actions led to immediate termination. The school and Ontario Bus Company are cooperating with investigations and addressing safety concerns.
The affected family has contacted police, ensuring the driver cannot return to work with children.
