A school bus driver was taken into custody by Miami authorities following accusations of child abuse involving a young boy after an altercation initiated by the driver’s daughter.
The incident reportedly occurred on November 20th on Northwest Seventh Street. According to the arrest report, the child victim was articulate in detailing the events to police, distinguishing truth from falsehood. He alleged that the school bus driver’s daughter attempted to initiate a confrontation with him, prompting his older sister to intervene.
The victim further claimed that the accused, identified as Lazaro Treminio, age 34, physically assaulted him by grabbing his hair and warning him against any contact with his daughter. Previous encounters on the bus allegedly included encouragement from Treminio for others to bully the young boy, resulting in an incident where he was forcefully shoved to the ground, striking his head.
The report also notes that the victim’s sister, ten years old, corroborated her brother’s account. She stated that she witnessed her sibling being targeted by larger children during a prior incident and recalled Treminio’s explicit directive to keep these events from their parents.
Lazaro Treminio was arrested while driving and now faces two charges of child abuse without causing great bodily harm. He remains detained at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Facility on a bond set at $7,500. Details about the school or Treminio’s employer were not disclosed in the police documentation.
The allegations against Lazaro Treminio, if proven true, highlight the importance of safety and vigilance in school transportation. As the case progresses, these claims will need thorough examination to ensure justice and the well-being of the children involved.
