2 Investigators: Alleged Abuse Leads Parents To Lobby For Cameras On School Buses
" (CBS) -- Security cameras and GPS systems on school busses are not required in Illinois, but many school districts have installed them in order to protect children.

One family is speaking out after the unthinkable happened to their twin daughters.

The mother and father of twin 3-year-old daughters want to keep their names private — but not their battle.

They’re fighting to protect other children from what a school bus driver allegedly did to their daughters in January.

“Every time I see a school bus I panic because I don’t know how many other kids this has happened to,” the Willowbrook mother says tearfully.

Arthur Guerrero, 53, was the bus driver and worked for Grand Prairie Transit, which has a contract to provide transportation for special education students in 16 school districts in the western suburbs. The districts include Gower Middle School, where the children were enrolled.

Guerrero declined comment. But officials for the Grand Prairie Transit confirmed he was fired after a state investigation revealed this month there is “credible evidence of child abuse and/or neglect.”

The family says the bus driver allegedly changed his route so that their daughters would be his last stop of the day. They say that gave him time to be alone with them. "
