FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- The mother of a teenage boy who had a sexual relationship with his bus driver spoke exclusively with Channel 2 Action News reporter Jodie Fleischer.

The Fairburn school bus driver, Jacqueline Connally, 22, who has been charged with sexual assault, was granted bond Thursday.

After the bus driver’s bond hearing, her mother spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to post the $20,000 bond. In the meantime, the mother of the teenage boy said she is trying to figure out how the alleged relationship happened.

“I’m angry that this happened to my child,” said “Adrienne," the mother of the alleged victim.

Adrienne said she put her trust in the Fulton County School District and the bus driver who took her teenage son to and from Langston Hughes High School.

On Tuesday, she got a phone call.

“They told me that there’s a situation going on where my son has been a victim,” said Adrienne.

The school resource officer told her that her son’s bus driver had sexually assaulted him.

The district said the relationship had gone on for nearly a year, starting when the boy was 16 years old. His mother says it was not a relationship.

“According to my son, it only happened once. But she had been pursuing him for a long time,” said Adrienne. “I do feel like she did take advantage of him.”

Adrienne said her son told her that Connally had picked him up in her car and taken him to her apartment.

Connally did not make any comments when the judge set her bond Thursday.

“He’s a child. Kids are off limits. You don’t deal with kids, regardless of age, you just don’t do that,” said Adrienne.

Connally is not allowed to have unsupervised contact with anyone under 18 and she has been fired from her job.

“If other students have had this sort of encounter or this sort of misconduct, we’d like to know,” said Rita Cherry, the victim's attorney.

Adrienne and her attorney said they wanted to come forward in case there were any other victims. Adrienne said her son hasn’t been the same since the incident happened.

“(I’m) just talking to him and letting him know that we are here for him,” said Adrienne.

Connally was 21 years old when she started driving the bus in 2008.
