Video shows school bus driver swearing at fighting students

The video, which has since been removed from YouTube, shows the teens attacking each other at the back of the bus, while other children cheered them on. The driver, Heather Vidito, then intervened. She shouted and ordered the students to stop fighting and return to their seats.

“Get the f— off now! Get the f— off now!!” Vidito yelled, followed by an exchange in which she and a boy angrily hurled obscenities at each other.

The Halifax Regional School Board says the video shows several people demonstrating poor judgment and behaviour. The schools say it will discipline the students, while the bus company is reviewing Vidito’s actions.

The bus was carrying students home from Gaetz Brook Junior High School and Eastern Shore District High School.
