WBFF Fox 45 :: Political Argument with 12 Year Old Boy Costs 81 Year Old Bus Driver Her Job
A political argument with a 12 year old boy costs an 81 year old Wisconsin bus driver her job. The boy says the fight with the driver crossed the line. FOX's Ashley Sears explains what happened. It's a bus ride 12 year old Joey Hartlaub is trying to forget. An argument with his bus driver he says went over the edge. The 7th grader and his friend were chanting "Romney, Romney" from the back of the bus. It's what she allegedly said next that keeps replaying in his head. Hartlaub claims he said Obama was pro-abortion and the bus driver said "well, maybe your mother should have chose an abortion for you". His mom says the political argument actually goes back weeks. That's when the bus driver apparently started harassing the 7th grader about a Romney/Ryan sign in his family's front yard. Saying it was "verbal abuse", she took it straight to Durham School Services, the company that operates the buses. Durham School Services kept her away from all students. In a statement, they told us "Durham immediately removed the driver from service pending an investigation which resulted in the termination of the driver. Prior to this incident, the driver had an incident-free record while serving the community as a Durham school bus driver for over 20 years. Notwithstanding, the driver's remark was insensitive and inappropriate." A move that's helping the 12 year old get back on the bus. The little boy believes he's not the only victim. This isn't the first time the bus driver has done something like this.Political Argument with 12 Year Old Boy Costs 81 Year Old Bus Driver Her Job

LOUISVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Blount (blunt) County sheriff's office says preliminary results of autopsies on the bodies of a couple found dead in their home in Louisville (LEW'-ihs-vil) show their deaths are consistent with murder-suicide.

Marian O'Briant said in an email that it appears 54-year-old Steven Adkins shot 53-year-old Rebecca Adkins, then shot himself.

O'Briant said a family member found the bodies Sunday night. It wasn't clear how long they had been dead.
