Denver, CO — A Colorado bus driver slapped a child for not wearing a mask correctly, and the incident was caught on video.
The bus driver, Bertram Jaquez, was fired and arrested on charges of child abuse causing injury, harassment, and third-degree assault.
Watch the video for yourself, and then read the statement from the child who was assaulted for not properly wearing a mask.
Even as pandemic numbers continue to see record lows across the country, we see this as a direct result of the “panic porn” ridden public messaging on wearing masks. A child sitting in a socially distanced seat, who is likely at no significant risk to COVID-19, was slapped in the face for not complying with a mask mandate from the district.
Read this statement directly from the child who was assaulted, and try to tell me that it is not time to end all mask mandates in schools.
“I got on the bus, sat down in the back and Mrs. Homan said something and I don’t remember what she said. Then she left and the bus driver said ‘Put on you[r] mask’ and I told him, ‘No, I get sick from mask[s].’ So I put my mask down and the kids in the back said put on your mask and I said no it makes me sick and it kept ongoing back and forth. Then [redacted name] went to tell Burt [the driver].
Then Burt came back and said put on your mask then I said why do I have to and he said b/c we said and the kids said b/c the principal said the government.
I yelled at them and said you shut up your [sic] not involved in this so then Burt slapped me and he walked away so I said let me off the bus. And he kept on driving so I put my backpack on and kept saying that and he kept driving. Then we got there he put out his fist to give me [knuckles] so I walked by ran out of the bus and run to my dad and tell him.”
Kudos to this kid for standing up for themselves, and shame on our society for perpetuating this mask-wearing hysteria.

Good! The tyrants that run this country may approve of silly rules and child abuse but this clown needed more than firing. He needs a good alley stomp down by a group of concerned parents.

Well Bert, we all knew how that was going to come out. How many other children did you threaten before getting caught?
Slap my child over this nonsense could cost you more than a job-And you can beto the ranch on that
Bus driver should be imprisoned for 1 year and required register as child abuser!!
first thing i noticed, this idiot doesn’t have control of the bus, a child is standing and he’s bothered with a mask!!!
So this guy, brainwashed by government dictates, is now going to jail because he bought into the Covid hoax.🙄
So true! People are really going too far with this.
If anyone put a finger on a child of mine – he or she would be sliced into a hundred bloody pieces.
the B****** needs to be arrested and put under the jail. If that slime ever hit my child like that, he would get my wrath upside his head!
