$10M Lawsuit After Girl Attacked on School Bus

Parents of a 9-year-old girl attacked on a school bus May 8 have filed a $10 million lawsuit against the school board, the bus driver and school administrators.

The video reportedly shows Saraia Collins pleading with the other children to leave her alone until the verbal attacks turn physical, according to WJLA.

Her parent’s learned about the attack after seeing a video from a student’s cellphone.

The lawsuit lists the defendants as Prince George’s County, the Board of Education, a bus driver and the principal and vice principals of the school, according to the Associated Press. They’re accused of negligence in the lawsuit.

“This is not the first time this issue has happened. Not the first time this has happened on this bus,” parent Tierra Holland told WUSA9.

There’s no comment from the school officials, but the bus driver is on leave, according to NBC Washington.
