Bus driver arrested for kidnapping 13 year old girl
In the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana, parents and students are shocked and disappointed. A well respected local school bus driver did the unthinkable. Christopher Taplin, age 33, kept one of the students on his bus. A 13 year old young lady was held on the bus by Taplin, as he told her he was in love with her.
News like this is shocking, especially coming from a tight knit community. In his years driving the school bus, Christopher Taplin earned the trust and respect of both students and parents. As a result, Taplin was one of the most liked and respected people within the school system. However, Taplin was never directly employed by the school system.
Christopher Taplin is 33 years old and he was a bus driver for Baton Rouge Parish Schools, in Louisiana. A few days ago, Taplin put an end to his career, his freedom, and his reputation. What began as a regular school day ended with one girl’s life turned upside down, and Taplin behind bars. When the children were exiting the bus, Taplin kept a 13 year old girl on after all of the other children left. Taplin kept the girl on the bus to tell her he was in love with her. After that, Taplin refused to let her leave, and called her parents to tell them he loved her. As a result, Taplin is facing charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, and stalking a juvenile.
