Iowa Bus Monitor Accused of Hypnotizing Children

What was reported

AM 950 KOEL reported that an Iowa school bus monitor tried to hypnotize children and asked one child to take off clothing.

The reported conduct involves children riding a school bus and a person serving as a monitor. The account does not establish the monitor’s name, the school district, the bus route, the date of the incident or whether an arrest, charge or school disciplinary action followed.

What remains to be established

A public response from the responsible school district or law enforcement agency would clarify whether the allegation is under investigation and what steps, if any, were taken to protect students. Any later court filing or official statement could also establish the monitor’s identity, the location and the status of the case.
