A man is facing several charges after allegedly instructing his 6-year-old daughter to attack another student on a bus in Missouri.
The man, identified as 36-year-old Maurice Fox, has been charged by St. Louis County prosecutors with first degree harassment, trespass of a bus and two counts of fourth-degree assault related to the student who was attacked and the bus driver, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
