"That sounds far-fetched"

That's what I was told when by district transportation today when they finally called me back about my report that my child had been assaulted by seven children on the bus this afternoon.

"That sounds far-fetched."

You've *got* to be freakin' kidding me.

He made this judgment before talking to the bus driver, before interviewing a single passenger, before reviewing the video tape.

I guess that in the Amphitheater School District in Tucson, Arizona, the idea of actually investigating a group of neurotypical children attacking a child with autism on the bus is far-fetched.

I guess that believing the wounds on my child came from his bus ride home would be far-fetched.

I guess that thinking the transportation department that once dropped off my severely autistic, non-verbal son AT THE WRONG LOCATION would care at all about the children with disabilities that they transport would be far-fetched.

But if you have a child with a disability and you live in the Amphi District, I don't think it would be far-fetched at all to move. Right now.
