Jessica Smithson wants the Wicomico County School District to fire a bus driver after her son was dropped off with a nose bleed miles from his home in the rain.
She said her son Jason text messaged her at around 6:40 am on Tuesday telling her that he had the nosebleed.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that she said around 15 minutes later he sent her another message telling her that she needed to pick him up because the bus driver had allowed him off the bus and then drove away.
The paper reports that the student had asked the bus driver to drop him off so that his mother could pick him up.
Smithson said she found the ninth grader about three miles away from their home with his face, shirt and hands covered with blood.
The bleeding is believed to be the result of an incident in gym class in which he hit his head but no signs of concussion were found.
The mother believes the bus driver should have stayed until she had arrived or called someone from school transportation for help.
Despite efforts to resolve the issue with the School Board and the James M Bennett High School Principal Smithson says she will not stop until the driver is fired.
