All in all, she has been terminated from her employment and also faces serious charges after 5 of the kids were sent to the hospital and one of them fell out of the emergency exit at the end of the bus in question.
One of the kids whose parents came forward was Maliah Earls. She is the mother of one of the kids that was most seriously injured in the incident. Earls suffered a lacerated liver. Her father Christopher Earls commented after the school district officials reported that Earls had a bump on her head. Christopher Earls said that the doctor stated Maliah would not be able to play outside for approximately 3 months or longer.
Meanwhile when authorities looked at the video from the camera on the school bus in question they noticed that Earls was thrown from her seat and landed on the back of a seat. They also stated their investigation was delayed because of a 911 call by the school districts transportation director that a student had hit her head on the bus.
