Justin Vose, a 42-year-old school bus driver from Bedford, has been indicted on three counts of kidnapping after allegedly taking three young children, aged 3 to 5, to secluded areas during his route and photographing them. The charges stem from incidents reported on May 28, when school officials alerted police after noticing a child was dropped off late at daycare. Investigations revealed that Vose had turned off the bus's audio and video recording for up to 20 minutes, without authorization from the school district or parents. Vose worked for the Newton Public Schools’ Early Education Childhood Program through a contract with JSC Transportation. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court on October 25. The children involved are described as semi-nonverbal or struggling with communication.
