A Kinnelon bus driver who molested two young children during games of hide-and-seek aboard his school bus was given lifetime parole supervision instead of prison during a virtual hearing on Thursday.
Thomas Thomasevich, 70, of Oakland, pleaded guilty over the summer to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and four counts of child abuse and neglect stemming from the months-long abuse. He admitted to touching two young students inappropriately over their clothes, and allowing four students to ride the bus without their seatbelts between October 2019 and January 2020.
