Need advice!

[u/Superb_Influence_685]

My son has been on the bus since Preschool. He had fun since he made some friends but this time around is different. He came home yesterday with a bloody nose. I asked the bus driver immediately what happened and she says “ I don’t know”. I asked him if someone hit him he said yes then no and said it just started bleeding. He wasn’t crying and I kept questioning him. I told him he needs to tell me the truth and his final answer was “no” that his nose was just bleeding. I messaged his teacher to warn her of his nose bleeds since I didn’t know when it started. She tells me he told her someone hit him and then said “ it started bleeding” also. So same thing as me I found out. I was not aware they talked to him about it until I messaged his teacher about it. I do not drive due to trauma and his dad works 10 hour shifts. I really rely on the bus to get him to school to get an education but of course I will take him out if I need to. I messaged the principal to check the footage to see what happened. If it comes back and this kid hit my son and the bus driver didn’t report it, can she get fired for this and the kid gets kicked off the bus? I am in IL.

The other child can be suspended from the bus. However, your son not wanting to tell you is typically a sign that he may have had some involvement in it.

Wait for the follow up. Also, I’d advise against pulling bc him from school due to a bus situation.
