Bullied girl's dad: 'I was going to be her protector'
(CNN) – On September 3, a Lake Mary, Florida, father jumped onto his daughter’s school bus and confronted bullies who he says had been tormenting the girl over the previous three days. James Jones was captured on bus surveillance video yelling and threatening kids on the bus. Jones has publicly apologized but may face two second-degree misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a school function.
Jackson said that Jones and his wife did not inform the school that their daughter was being bullied. The girl has cerebral palsy. The bullying was so traumatizing, Jones says his daughter is currently hospitalized. James Jones and his lawyer, Natalie Jackson, joined us on Wednesday's American Morning.
