Cushion flies out bus window, work of some "smart" students

Cushion flies out bus window

THIS was one 13-year-old schoolboy's idea of fun: Open the emergency exit window on the upper deck of a moving double-decker bus and fling out a seat cushion. Fortunately, nobody was injured by his thoughtless act of mischief, but it disrupted the bus service and 40 passengers had to be transferred to another bus. The incident took place on 16 Sep.....

He continued the journey, but 10 minutes later, an indicator light on his console lit up, alerting him that the upper deck emergency exit window had been opened.

He pulled up at the next bus-stop and went to the upper deck to check.

The students had occupied the entire row of seats at the rear, including several of the twin seats.

The emergency window was closed and the latch secured, but he noticed that the bus service number plate displayed at the window was missing. Said Mr Teong: 'It was there when I started my shift. I asked the students if they knew what happened to the number plate, but they ignored me and kept quiet. He then alighted and walked to the back of the bus. 'I wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong,' he explained.

But to his shock, he saw a bus seat cushion on the ground. He said: 'I was quite upset. Some school children can be quite mischievous and rowdy but removing a seat cushion and throwing it out from the upper deck is crossing the line....

The school requested not to be named and did not want to reveal the student's identity as he had expressed remorse for his act of mischief, and that it would like to give him a chance to repent. The student does not have a prior record of misbehaving. The spokesman said: 'He was questioned and reprimanded by the discipline master and made to reflect upon his actions. It was made clear to him that his act of mischief could have injured someone.....

==========================================================================
The school wants to save face so that it requested not be named. Just talking to the kid and let him get away with it. if it hit someone, i wonder will they just talk to the kid. Will they implement a public caning to teach the kids a lesson?

What will the parents do? 13 year old? do you think that they do not know how to think? furthermore just focusing on the guy who committed the act. How about those 10 other accomplices?

Do they teach moral education in school at all? They deserve to be publicly named and shamed. this will warn other kids not to commit similar acts. kill 1 to frighten the 100s

Shame on the School, Shame on the kids. hope they get throw out of the bus window
