Video of bus monitor Karen Klein being bullied goes viral, raises thousands of dollars [View all]
An online fundraising effort to assist a Greece bus monitor verbally abused by students raised more than $187,000 in less than 24 hours.
The effort was set in motion by a video of 10 minutes of profane taunting endured on Monday by bus monitor Karen Klein. The Greece school district is holding a news conference with police at 1 p.m. to provide updates on the case, which has gained worldwide attention.
Klein didn’t report the behavior and said she figured she had just ended the year on a bad note.
But one of the kids on the Greece Athena Middle School bus captured the incident on a cellphone camera. The video got pulled off of Facebook late Tuesday and was posted to YouTube. By early Wednesday, it had gone viral across the world. By Thursday morning, it had been viewed more than 1.5 million times.
