Texas bus driver keeps job after taunting passenger with 'crybaby' chant

A Texas elementary school bus driver was allowed to keep her job even after video of her leading a chant mocking a crying girl surfaced.

The driver, "Ms. Pat," drives bus No. 67 for Floresville Elementary School of the Floresville Independent School District.

In video obtained by KSAT, Ms. Pat can be seen calling a young girl a "crybaby” and then inviting other students to chant, "Ready? Cry, cry, cry!"

As the girl can be heard crying, Ms. Pat shouts, "I want my mama."

Ms. Pat is still driving her usual route.

"She treated the child as if she was a child herself, bullying the child," said a mother who talked to KSAT. "Having the other children follow her example, that's just wrong." According to the mother, Lucy, her son no longer wants to take the bus.

"I was very concerned with that and it's definitely not appropriate," said Floresville Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Sherri Bays when she was shown the video. "I think she's acting very childish and immature."

Ms. Pat has been disciplined, but she was not terminated.

"I expect that person to learn from that mistake and we will continue to monitor that," Bays said.
