The idea of a bus driver taking a child off the bus and into a store is also scary. Who was watching the other kids in the bus? Who knows what else the driver might do when getting a child alone with him/her?
I hope you can find a better situation.

Rheba has a really important point. If a child is that adamant about not wanting to be alone with an adult, there is sometimes other issues. What does your son mean when he says, he was being mean to him? Does he understand anything about violation, good touches, bad touches? something just doesn't sound right to me,,, might be worth asking your child what he meant by mean. 2 hrs alone with a mean adult? What a nightmare, especially is there was any ulterior motives on the drivers part. People that prey on children seek jobs where they can be alone with kids,
Is your son displaying any other strange behavior at home? Change in personality or outgoing attitudes etc? In class how is he? Of course if he were being threatened and afraid of the driver if he said anything about an inappropriate advance or something that scared him, it might cause him to act out in class also... But also, he could have ADD or something...
I do think that you may have some rights here under the ADA. My ASL teacher works with the state to protect the rights of the disabled. I will email her about your situation. May I copy your post and send it to her? what state do you live in? If she doesn't know, she will know how to find out and give sound advice.
good luck... Jeanie
