Update on today’s court hearing of Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide charged with 11 counts of child XXX assault. The results of the competency test have not arrived so there will be another hearing setup in the future. An interpreter is required in court. Once the interpreter arrives, a new date for the hearing will be announced.
These events generate some thoughts. If he needs an interpreter, he clearly doesn’t speak English so is he in the country illegally? If his competency is in question, why did Spotsylvania County schools hire him? How was he able to complete training and sign off on training documents that were obtained by Delegate Phil Scott’s office?
If he cannot communicate in English, how could he communicate in an emergency situation ? If it’s your child, every second counts. Don’t you agree. On top of this 11 counts of illicit XXX contact is extremely disturbing. Parents should follow this case closely while asking the question that are pertinent. I have no children in school here but grew up in the area and this disturbed me greatly as a caring citizen for the children of SPOTSYLVANIA as well as any other county.
