""Lens got off the school bus that day with the same expectation that any child has: to get off safely and to get home to their family. It is the reckless actions of this defendant that have opened an unfillable hole in the hearts of everyone who knew Lens and who loved him.""
""Waiting only a few seconds, and without accounting for Lens's whereabouts, Charles drove away and immediately ran over the child, causing his death.""
Jean Charles, a former Boston school bus driver, was arraigned on charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless motor vehicle homicide following the death of 5-year-old Lens Arthur Joseph. The incident occurred when Joseph exited the bus and was struck by Charles, who allegedly failed to ensure the child's safety. Prosecutors claim Charles drove away without checking for the child's whereabouts. Additionally, he was involved in a hit-and-run months later, which is under separate investigation.
