In reply to the discussion: Students bully school bus monitor, post video on YouTube [View all]demmiblue
(39,736 posts)Above is a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York. Throughout the ten minute video, you can hear the kids verbally berate the woman, calling her a bitch, fatass, poor, ugly, and various other words of the like. At one point in the video, you can hear one of the kids yell, Youre so fuckin poor you fat ass, in which Karen responds, I try to live by some of these words, I try and its really hard, referring to the words on her purse. Now, I dont know about you, but that broke my fucking heart. Theres even a point in the video where one of the kids touches Karens arm in an attempt to make fun of her. Im not sure why these kids would want to bully a senior citizen to tears, but I feel we should do something, or at least try.
She doesn't earn nearly enough ($15,506) to deal with some of the trash she is surrounded by. Lets give her something she will never forget, a vacation of a lifetime!

I'm thinking she may be able to retire before all is said and done!
