The incident occurred after the man learned that his child had been suspended from riding the bus. Officials have released a video of the distressing event. The attack has left the community wondering what could have driven the parent to such extreme measures.

He pushed the school bus aide to the ground and began hitting her repeatedly. The aide suffered several injuries and had to rush to the hospital.
Florida parent attacks school bus aide
On May 2nd, in Ocala, Florida, a parent named Esdra Burges-Cruz caused trouble on a school bus that had stopped, leading to a delay for the students. Despite the aide stopping him from getting on the bus, Burges-Cruz used offensive language and boarded anyway.
Although the specific reason for Burges-Cruz’s child being suspended from the school bus is not known, it is clear that emotions ran high and resulted in a violent incident. Parents and teachers are concerned about the situation.
Authorities mentioned that Burges-Cruz made threats, warning the aide that there would be consequences if anything happened to his son again. A student at Lake Weir Middle School captured the assault on video and reported it to the school officers the next day.
The father claimed that he did not physically hit the employee but instead grabbed a paper from her to show his son’s bus suspension. The reason for the suspension is not immediately known.
