'EAGLE POINT, Ore. -- Parents in a Southern Oregon school district submitted a petition seeking the removal of a bus driver accused of spanking a 6-year-old boy who wouldn't sit down.

The parents also contend the woman is a bad driver.
...
The alleged spanking occurred Oct. 30. The boy's 10-year-old sister submitted a statement saying the driver grabbed her brother's arm and "hit him on the thigh four to five times."
...
Parents also said they are unhappy with the way the driver handles disciplinary matters, including shouting and whistling loudly into the intercom.

"I don't feel it's safe with her as a driver, and I don't think the kids should be treated like this," Parent Leah Ferrell said.'
