MILWAUKEE (AP) — A school bus driver caught on tape threatening a boy with Down syndrome pleaded guilty Monday to child abuse.
Jacob Mutulo's parents said they had put a tape recorder in their 9-year-old son's backpack because of reports he was misbehaving on the bus.
The driver, 29-year-old Brian Duchow, can be heard on tape shouting at the boy and threatening to break his arm and beat him. Duchow had admitted slapping the child, authorities said.
