A 14-year-old girl with physical and cognitive disabilities was abused and eventually raped while her bus driver ignored it, a lawsuit claims.
The girl’s mother sued the Fulton County School District in federal court last week. In the lawsuit, the 14-year-old girl, who is called Jane Doe to protect her privacy, is described as having “a sweet and innocent young child-like nature due to her cognitive and communicative deficiencies.”
Doe rode a school bus with other students with disabilities, where, according to the lawsuit, she was first assaulted April 4, 2019. She then allegedly experienced escalating daily assaults from male students who were reportedly emboldened by the lack of intervention from any adults, until she was raped on April 20. Her family says the bus driver actively allowed the assaults to happen, and didn’t report anything until the girl was raped, at which point he told a supervisor he “saw something.
