The incidents are caught on video, but the school bus driver appears unaware of the violence going on behind him.
The family of Autumn Angle, who was 4 years old at the time of the attack, recently settled a lawsuit with Chesterfield County Schools and the South Carolina Department of Education for $2.2 million.
At the time, Autumn Angle rode the school bus from her home to Ruby Elementary School, which is within the Chesterfield County School District. The South Carolina district located about 65 miles southeast of Charlotte, North Carolina. The new report provides information on the attack and includes video clips from depositions of the former superintendent and special education director of Chesterfield County Schools.
