The Boston Globe has initiated a public records lawsuit against the city, claiming it is unlawfully withholding video footage from a school bus related to the death of a 5-year-old boy, Arthur Joseph, who was hit by the bus. The footage was recorded on April 28, and the Globe asserts that the ongoing investigation exemption does not apply as the cameras recorded in plain sight. Arthur was struck after exiting the bus. The Globe seeks the footage and the waiver of any fees for its release, with the city required to respond by November 25.
The Boston Globe filed a lawsuit this week against the city for allegedly withholding video footage from cameras on the school bus involved in the death of a Hyde Park boy.
Joseph was struck when he exited the bus on his way home from school at around 2:45 p.m. near 107 Washington St.
The suit says that the video, recorded on the bus between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. that day, was captured by cameras in plain sight of passengers.
According to the UniversalHub report, the Globe is seeking footage of the time period before Joseph and his 11-year-old cousin entered the bus on school grounds until after he was struck, when Charles allegedly attempted to drive away.
