I am so upset right now I can barely type. I'm shaking so bad and I can't calm down. I'm so mad. Damn it! I feel like I'm burning at a thousand degrees.

So I went to pick my son up from his bus stop and he was taking forever to come off the bus. All the other kids had left and the bus driver was wandering around inside. Finally my son (twelve) gets off the bus holding his sweat shirt over his face. He's crying so hard he can barely walk to the car. For the first ten minutes he can't even calm down enough to tell me what happened.

One kid had smashed him up against the wall of the bus while another kid took his gloves. They proceeded to grab his hand and twist his fingers around while other kids threw his stuff around the bus. These items were never recovered. The bus driver did nothing.

I've been on the phone with the bus company, the school and I've left messages for the principal. I've recorded all the names of hte kids involved and also the witnesses. Now I'm supposed to write some %#@&#! letter explaining what happened but I can't seem to calm down enough to even take care of my other kids right now.

I swear I just want to do soemthing. I want to be standing in the doorway of the %#@&#! kids houses screaming into teh faces of their stupd %#@&#! parents! God!

This %#@&#! will nhot happen to one of my kdis! No %#@&#! way!

I khow what I"m supposed to do in this situation and I'm following those rules, proper channels and all that but I have no diretion for how upset I am right now. And I seriously can't stop shaking.

This isn't helpoing.
