There is a lot of profanity and other nasty stuff. It's all over the news.

That is pathetic. It just goes to show that kids have no respect for their elders. I wouldn't be surprised if their parents act the same way. The bunch of losers.

I can't see the video but is the bus driver white and the kids another color?

I didn't see the whole video. Four of the bullies have been identified. One is Hispanic/Latino and other is Asian. The other two are White.

This is what happens when you let the village raise your kids instead of yourself. 

If it were my boy, I'd be spending an hour profusely apologizing to that lady for my child's horrible disrespect, and then beat his ass until he could not sit for a week.  He wouldn't have to wait for the school to kick him off the bus for his bad behavior, either: I'd yank him off personally and have him walk to school for the rest of the school year, at least, no matter the distance ("takes you 2 hours to walk to school? Well, then I guess you aren't sleeping in until 10 minutes before the bus comes anymore, are you?)  I've got a deep store of parenting wisdom bestowed upon me by Senior Chief Petty Officer Dad to dip into if it were needed (I really was a little shit as a kid, and so dad had to get more "creative" with me than he did with others), and draw up measures and tactics that the child can barely comprehend exists.

Look at this. It will brighten your day.

Bullied bus monitor receives more than $200G in online donations

A New York bus monitor who was berated and bullied by a group of middle school students has received more than $200,000 in online donations.

Karen Klein, 68, is seen in a 10-minute viral video attempting to ignore the verbal attacks by students on a bus operated by the Greece Central School District, near Rochester, N.Y. Children on the bus hurl repeated insults and threats at the grandmother, calling her fat and at one point suggesting that her children commit suicide.

But donations have since poured in for the grandmother in hopes that she’ll take a “vacation of a lifetime,” according to fundraising site indiegogo.com. As of midday Thursday, a total of $201,925 had been received for Klein and the video had been viewed on YouTube more than 1.6 million times.

Good for her. Although she plans to return to work, on a different route and with an apology from the kids. I wouldn't go back.

So sad, but the Youtube comments are awesome. The Parents need to make these kids apologize and then punish their asses!

Wow, I had seen earlier that there was about $140k in donations.  It must have spiked after that story was out.

This made me so sick this morning, seeing it on TV.  What has become of our civilization? 

I put in the Shout Box that the DUmmies had a thread about this.  For once, they did not politicize it.  For once.  Of course, they squabbled about Lionessa's hard-heartedness, and another wanted to bring back corporal punishment. 

I hope this incident starts some conversations within families. 

I never had kids, but as I understand it, the love you have for your kid is unconditional, and can't be shaken.  If one of those creeps was my kid, I would fall a little out of love with it.

You can fall out of love with them.  Trust me.......  :lmao:

This is what happens when there is no discipline or any way to apply it. I'd like to know where the Bus driver was on this. Most schools have a policy of kicking kids off the bus for crap like this. My father spent 15 years driving buses and he never would have tolerated this.

I hope someone beats some respect into those little monsters.  If their parents haven't done it by now, chances are it won't happen at all.

They just talked about this on The Five. One of the parents said his son was a good kid and he wasn't raised that way.  That may be true, because mob thinking is much different from individual thinking.

I did have an idea for punishment for these kids.  Community service was mentioned on The Five, and that is a good idea.  Make it a better idea by having that community service working in a home for senior citizens emptying bedpans and the like.

I can't even imagine what my parents would have done if I had behaved like that, but I suspect that my dad would have gotten over his squeamishness over spanking me (I bruise easily, and he was afraid that he would actually hurt me.  My mom did my spanking.)  My dad has only gotten really mad at me a few times in my life, but he is freaking scary when he is mad.

I stopped watching about two minutes in, so I'm pretty sure that I missed some of the "good stuff" that the little demons said.  If they were my kids, they would have first had a meeting with the board of education (the other one).  Then, since they like being "popular" members of the pack, I'd take away all of their electronic devices and all of their nice clothes from the Gap.  They'd also lose all free time.  Any available time would be spent volunteering at a soup kitchen or nursing home.  Maybe they'd get a healthy respect for their fellow man.

That is fantastic. When you see so many people come together and do something like that; it shows that people do care. Good for her. I hope she gets enough to retire on. I can imagine how she feels knowing that so many people are willing to help her. Probably pretty damn good. As she deserves it. God Bless her.

Give me $270K and I will retire tomorrow.

Go to Hot Air.  They have a video of the interview Steve Doocy did with her this morning when I believe that the amount was "only" 125k.

That was a great video. I enjoyed it. I also went to the website that set up the donations for her and it is now at $363,642.00 (At time of this post). That is amazing.

She is going to be on CNN tonight at 8:00 Pm (Eastern). They said they have a big surprise for her, and they are going to read some letter from some of the kids at her school.
