Colorado – A Freemont School District bus driver has been arrested on charges of child abuse causing injury, harassment, and third degree assault for slapping a 10-year-old girl across the face over a mask dispute.
Bertram Jaquez was caught on video slapping the young child so hard that her head whipped back and hit the seat.
According to KKTV, the child’s mask slipped down under her nose prompting the bus driver to get in her face and demand she pull up her mask.
The little girl is seen cowering in her seat before the bus driver slaps her hard on the side of her face.
