$2,000,000 Settlement – School Bus Driver Minor Students Sexual Abuse

For a period of four months, a school bus operator was sexually abusing two 3-year-old special needs children while transporting them home from a school in Burr Ridge, IL. Allegedly, the bus was not equipped with any safety monitoring tools (e.g., a video camera or GPS), allowing the driver to reroute the bus and make unscheduled stops to abuse the girls. Both victims sustained permanent psychological injuries requiring extensive counseling--and the abuse may negatively impact their social/emotional development later in life.
