Lynn took to Facebook saying, "My daughter came home from school on a Lamers bus today whining and carrying on holding her arm signing ouchie. She is non-verbal and developmentally delayed. I noticed when I took her coat off that she had a single bite mark on her forearm. Although it looked kinda like she bit herself so I didn't think anything of it. She was very agitated and not calming down so I thought a nice warm bath would help her." Lynn said that the driver did not pay heed to the incident and kept on going.

Following the incident, school district Superintendent Michelle Langenfeld in a statement said, "Several administrators and myself immediately reached out to the family and met with them to address their concerns and provide support to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of our student. The District is conducting an investigation into the situation and will be working with the bus company to ensure appropriate processes and procedures are in place to prevent this from occurring in the future."
