Harvey Sliker, a 75-year-old bus driver in Pennsylvania has been charged with making threats to a school bus full of children after he demanded they close the windows before turning on the bus’ heater. Silker, who is accused of telling the children he would “cook you all,” was issued a “no-trespass order barring him from school property or events,” according to local news outlets.

The temperature in the bus reached upwards of 100 degrees, and when the children were eventually let off, they were “crying and extremely sweaty.”

The Valley Grove School District, the district in which Silker was a contractor, said he’s been replaced. I fear, however, that those poor kids won’t be comfortable riding the bus again for some time.
