Please remember the bus driver recently that was verbally harassed, bordering on verbal assault; that raised over $650K in donations from decent citizens, just to make her happy. she deserves every penny. I have children of my own and trust them with John always. He is protective, loving, and cares for all people in general. This man needs to be exonerated and I hope that when the evidence is presented, that this case gets thrown out and his good name redeemed. As a parent, I too would want to investigate such allegations made by a child, but people we must remember we are talking about children with wild imaginations that will say things they they think they need to, that we want to hear, or whatever will keep them from getting in trouble. Point is, let's not give too much credibility to allegations from children. Imagine this: crowded bus, narrow walkway, how can you not bump into someone?
