Video Shows 8-Year-Old Autistic Girl Dragged Off School Bus

In Vacaville, California, an 8-year-old autistic girl was allegedly taunted and dragged off of a school bus, news outlets reported.

A February 2018 video of the school bus interior was reportedly released by the parents, said CBS TV 2 KOVR in Sacramento, Calif.

KOVR said the parents plan to sue the Vacaville School District over the incident, despite the district having already fired the driver.

The video supposedly shows the student blocking the aisle with her leg, when the dispute begins.
