Should this father be punished?
A central Florida man angry that his daughter had been the victims of school bullies turned bully himself, caught on surveillance cameras when he boarded a Seminole Countyschool bus and started screaming at the children to leave his kid alone. His rant bought him a trip to jail.
James Jones ordered the kids aboard the bus to sit down, and after asking his daughter to identify the kids who had been bothering her, threatened to kill a child who "fought her".
The whole incident was caught on tape by the security cameras on the bus. The driver is shown allowing Jones on the bus, and doing nothing as he makes his threats.
Jones told deputies a student threw an open condom in his daughter's hair and kids were laughing at her. Video later obtained by CBS affiliate WKMG showed a student picking up what appeared to be a condom from the aisle of the bus, and dropping on Jones' daughter's hair. The bus erupted into laughter as the girl tried to get the condom out of her hair
Jones later said he could not accept his daughter being disrespected by every child on the bus.
Officials say he crossed the line between concern for his daughter and the rights of the kids not to be threatened.
Thursday, Jones was charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing a school function, and briefly jailed. He was released on bond from Seminole County Jail later in the day.
NO. I think he should not be punished. I feel so sorry for him, he shouldn't have done what he did however given the circumstances, him yelling at those little shits is nothing compared to what they did to his daughter. Honestly, what kind of person wouldn't be pissed? He should have handled it differently, but if he's punished or served prison time, it's going to be fucked up.
