In the quiet routines of a school bus route, a 14-year-old girl with special needs found herself betrayed by the very person entrusted with her safety. Ali Khan, a 62-year-old bus aide in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, now faces serious felony charges after the girl told her parents what had happened — and they listened. The case is a sobering reminder that institutional trust is only as strong as the vigilance and accountability built into its smallest, most ordinary moments.
