BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – We’re learning more about a case of potential sexual abuse involving a 6-year-old boy on a Buffalo Public School bus in December of 2015.

We first told you about this case last year. The mother of the boy claims her son was forced to perform a sex act on a 12- year-old- boy.

State Supreme Court papers show the family is holding the bus company. First Student, the Diocese of Buffalo, the Buffalo Public School District, three employees at the school, and the bus driver and bus aid, all responsible for what happened on that school bus.

Last week, the Diocese of Buffalo and Our Lady of Black Rock school made a motion to dismiss the case. That motion was denied in full by Supreme Court Justice Tracey Bannister.
