Does this count as murder and was the punishment reasonable?

I get the guy had special need and all and it's a sad story. But everybody makes mistakes and this one happened to cause the kid's death. I think 2 years is enough the guy obviously feels bad and he's gonna have to live with that the rest of his life.

Just review the OP's posting history, you can draw your conclusions from there. *cough* pot *cough* kettle

The responsibility of a bus driver is to drive people from point A to point B. It is the responsibility of the client to decide where point B is and that they leave the vehicle once they reach point B. If you want a driver to wipe your ass, get a limo. If your child isn't intelligent enough to leave a bus after it gets too hot and he starts to dehydrating, don't let him travel on a bus alone.

It was a school bus, not a normal bus.

the term autistic means jack shit, im autistic and i function just like you. They need to start using the actual diagnosis rather than the general brand of autisitc.

Autism should not be used as an insult. But people with ASD function differently, more or less so depending on where they are on the spectrum. In order to be diagnosed you need to exhibit a certain set of behaviors, usually from a young age.

Also I know a physician who has high-functioning autism, he got full honors in med school and functions mostly normally beyond awkwardness in social situations and a preference for routine.

If they're functioning human beings under shitty circumstances (a lot of the homeless), why not.

Unless they are badly-scarred, or amputees, etc.

Given the way this thread started I don't see it going anywhere productive. Closing this here.
