Cops: Bus monitor beat disabled adults
The Associated Press

A bus monitor was accused of beating disabled passengers with a leather belt because she felt they were being rowdy.

Martine Barber, 26, of Manhattan, was arrested and charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person.

Barber allegedly hit the three developmentally passengers on a bus contracted by the Institute for Applied Human Dynamics' St. Jude Habilitation Institute in Tarrytown, police said. Barber told police that the passengers, ages 20, 21 and 30, were unruly.

Barber worked for the Tremont Ambulette Service in the Bronx.
Let me guess. It will turn out that the woman has no training and was working for less money than she could have gotten behind the counter at a McDonalds.

I am amazed that we put human lives and safety in the hands of people who are sometimes paid less and have less experience than the people who handle our trash.
