(AP) Greenwood County deputies say they have charged a bus driver with eight counts of cruelty to children after she admitted she taped their mouths shut with duct tape after they misbehaved. Investigators say 35-year-old Helen Curry told them she gave the children a choice of putting on the tape or being written up for bad behavior. Deputies say the students were mostly males and ranged in age from 5 to 12 years old. Authorities say the students reported the incidents after Curry was fired for unrelated reasons. School officials refused to say why Curry lost her job. Curry has been released on a personal recognizance bond. A phone listing for her could not be found and it wasn't clear if she had an attorney. © MMVIII The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
