A Texas high school employee was captured on a disturbing video brutally assaulting a 17-year-old foster care student on a school bus on Thursday, according to reports.
The unidentified employee at Conroe Independent School District slapped the teen with an unknown object as the student tried to walk past the school staffer.
The teen fell to the floor after the first two slaps, but the out-of-control school worker didn’t pull back from the attack.
“Don’t put your mother f–kin’ hands on me,” the employee repeatedly yelled at the student who covered for safety in front of other horrified students, social media footage shows.
“You’re on video! You just hit a kid,” another student filming the assault can be heard yelling at the uncaring man.
The school staffer paused briefly and yanked the teen by his shirt before he continued to scream in his face.
It’s unknown what led to the physical altercation.
Update – A clearer video has been sent to me. It appears as if the actual bus driver is behind him. The word going around is that this is a teacher.

The school terminated the employee, and the Conroe ISD Police Department has launched an investigation into the brazen attack, according to Click 2 Houston.
“We are disturbed by this unacceptable behavior which is not representative of our hundreds of hard-working transportation staff,” said Conroe ISD’s Communications Director, Sarah Blakelock.
“The individual is no longer employed by the District, and the Conroe ISD Police Department is completing their investigation with the expectation of pursuing criminal charges.”
The Post has reached out to the Conroe Independent School District for comment.

“I was honestly shocked, I never expected that I would see someone that is supposed to be a role model and a leader in our school, like a staff member. I would never think that they would put their hands on a kid,” Alexa Perez, a student who witnessed the horrific encounter, told the outlet.
“He was going at it, he was just mercilessly hitting this kid.”
The student — referred to as ‘Big Mike’ by the student recording the video — lives in the foster care system run by the Department of Family and Protective Services, according to ABC 13.
He was taken to the hospital for evaluation before being discharged, the outlet reported.
Conroe High School is located about 40 miles north of Houston.
