Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus

A 68-year-old school bus superviser who was mercilessly bullied by teenage students has said she hopes her tormentor's parents will view the viral video of the abuse and talk to their children about their behaviour.
Earlier this week, a 10-minute mobile phone recording of Karen Klein being verbally taunted was posted on YouTube by one of the students on the bus.
By Thursday morning, it had been viewed over 1.5 million times.
It shows Mrs Klein trying to ignore the insults, swearing and threats being hurled at her from at least four year seven and year eight boys who had gathered around her bus seat.
At one point the relentless abuse makes her cry.
The teenagers taunt her for being "fat" and "sweaty", and ask her where she lives so they can come and damage her property.
One student says that if he stabbed her in the stomach the knife would go through like butter "because it's all ******* lard".
She told a local ABC affiliate news station that the most hurtful comment came when the bullies said her family should kill themselves.
Her oldest son committed suicide 10 years ago.
<snip>
Support has poured in for her from across the country.
She said: "I've got these nice letters, emails, Facebook messages. It's like, wow, there's a whole world out there that I didn't know."
A fundraising website Indiegogo.com has raised more than $250,000 (£160,000) in donations from well-wishers who want to send Mrs Klein on a dream holiday.
School officials called police when they became aware of the video.
Police have questioned the students allegedly involved, but none have been charged yet. An investigation is ongoing.

Bet those kids are not laughing now. If I'd have been the bus driver of this bus, or perhaps another passenger, I'd have thrown all the kids off and banned them from travelling on it period.

The Do-Gooders would get thrown off the bus as well.

Re: Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus
The 'do-gooders' would be amongst those who raised £160,000 so that she can go on holiday/help her retire....People who tend to try and make things better rather than despair at the state of the world

Re: Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus
Nah - I bet most of those donators would have considered chasing those kids with their sticks and pitch forks in hand, for what they did to that woman.

Re: Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus
In America the little perishers will get severely dealt with, if that was in the UK, the thing would get wiped under the carper, and nothing would get done.

Seems like kids aren't kids anymore.They emerge from the womb as 35 year old thugs.

Re: Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus
does the fat fight have a bearing here? I'm not condoning what happened here just asking whether this fight against fatty foods that Jamie Oliver embarked on over there had been drilled into the young now?

No it's just a bunch of teenagers egging each other on.I bet if it had happened to a parent or grandparent of theirs they would have been up in arms about it.

The OP's quote says they were 7 and 8 year olds. Doesn't bode well does it?
Oops just saw it's YEAR 7 and 8.

Re: Scumbag Kids Bully Woman on bus
Looking at the unadulterated video I'd suggest they were older perhaps 10-12 than 7-8
