Tragic Death of 6-Year-Old on School Bus Leads to Manslaughter Charges for Bus Monitor

A 6-year-old disabled girl suffocated on her school bus while the bus monitor, Amanda Davila, was distracted by her cellphone and earbuds. The girl, who was unable to speak, slid down in her wheelchair, and the strap meant to secure her ended up tight against her throat. Davila has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child. The girl's mother, still grappling with the tragedy, is calling for stricter vetting of transportation companies and protocols to ensure the safety of special needs children.
