Colorado Bus Driver Fired After Incident

A substitute bus driver in Colorado was fired after dropping off 40 elementary school students at the wrong location in freezing temperatures, leading to claims of threats and erratic behavior. Parents reported that the driver, who is now under investigation, threatened the children, bragged about owning guns, and made them feel like they were being kidnapped. Students from Clear Sky Elementary School described the driver as hostile, stating he skipped their stops and forced them to exit the bus at a busy intersection, leaving them frightened and stranded. Strangers and parents quickly intervened to help the children, some of whom were in tears and without a way to contact their families. The Douglas County School District is conducting an internal investigation alongside the Castle Rock Police Department, reviewing bus surveillance footage as part of the inquiry. This incident has raised significant concerns among parents about the safety of their children while using school transportation.
