        ain't no 2 ways about it. its about time these youngsters have some respect distilled in to them. ppl of France are fighting back unlike the UK. too many laws protecting these young individuals. #Respect

        nope. he should absolutely be disciplined. he could be suspended, or his parents could do something such as ground him.

        we can all sit and drum up ways how to take action. you say ground a child i say clip them round the ear and teach them real respect not street respect or respect from there peers. it doesn't mean i would be violent or condone violence in anyway,

        That's because they haven't opened up a book to realize that violence only creates more violence as studies have shown and as we progress, you have those that chose to read and learn about these circumstance and those that chose to not know anything at all!! 😏

        reading a book? really? i didn't know reading 1 book would decide your fate of being a good parent or not. shouldn't make comments on someones education levels because you simply disagree with their view on a topic.

        Not so for a good many ethnic communities I'm afraid where violence is (currently) the only successful tool; and I'm not quite sold on the success of the snowflake generation project...where you find low respect, general empathy and humility.

        Sure reprimand the driver, encourage this youngster on his route to delinquency... SMH Kid deserves that and more.

        That minor is a punk who deserves a good spanking to teach him manners. He put himself and others in danger, cursed the driver who told him to be careful and you are defending him? Parents like you are the problem

        -that minor is a fucking minor -he absolutely put himself and others in danger, but dont hit kids, you ass -he said he thought the driver had insulted him, and he said “shut up, move on” -im not defending anything other than “dont hit kids”. he should be reprimanded, no question.

        The level of disrespect, by kids towards adults, in the US is 1000x worse than this incident from France. Kids are empowered to lash out against adults (they know how to lawyer up!). what ever happened to Parental Strict Liability? Someone needs to be held accountable!

        1000% support the driver. Every now and then you need a slap when you step out of reality from your elders. Lol it was a slap of love!

        Well the driver has been carried away by his feeling because of the disrespecting done by the boy. Its okay, sometimes minors taking whats best for them for granted in terms of discipline. Which do you prefer? The boy is dead because he was hit by the bus? Or being slapped?
