An aged bus monitor, by the name of Karen Huff Klein, employed by the Greece Central School District in Rochester, New York, is moved to tears while being verbally abused by a murder of petulant school children in a blood-boiling video uploaded to YouTube by a concerned third party.

This broke my heart. :( Who would have the heart to insult a 68-year-old until she broke into tears? So sad.

I believe its either the whole gang mentality or kids these days are just really fucked up.

Sounds like something that happened in Birmingham, AL in september or november. It's really cruel what some kids do now, kinda a disgrace to our generation. Even my school has a lot of spoiled kids like those

you blame the kids, I blame the parents that unable such wretched beings to exist.

I kind of dislike it when people blame the parents for this sort of nonsense.

It's not like the parents were watching and nodding their heads along, and it's not like they wouldn't be appalled at their actions. Given any amount of leniency and little consequence, kids and even some adults would act with spite and rancor towards their fellow man at the drop of a hat. Kids are just worse at predicting consequence than adults are, so they tend to do it more.

Only the kids are at fault here, and even then it's to be expected of them. It would be rather saintly if any of them stood up for the bus driver in front of all of their peers, and I honestly never expect that sort of behavior from middle schoolers especially.

Peer pressure is a bitch.

Idiotic kids like these are the reason why man kind can't have nice things.

So this is the wonderful next generation for America... Great just great...

I'm guessing that their parents know by now and plan on giving their kids what they deserve.

And this is why I believe in corporal punishment.

I would've hit the one who kept calling her fat. I next to never am willing to hit a girl, but I'd break her fucking nose.

This is what happens when kids find out that they can do anything to an adult and they can't legally do anything about it.

This is why I can't be a bus driver,
"Sit in your seat!"
"Make me, you #$!#"
"I will drive this bus off a bridge if you don't sit the hell down"
"F#@k YOU!"
"Alright, there's the turn for the school, I'm going to skip it and find the nearest damn bridge, you thought I was joking, well, hope your punk-ass can swim!"

This is why hamsters will eat there kids

Wow... This is freaking horrible. Hell has lots of room for those kids to live in.

Actually Yammie, children cannot go to hell. Unless he/she is 13 years old, they are considered to not be educated enough on just how much they are hurting other people.

>>15 I call BS. Depending on beliefs children can go to hell, your beliefs are not necessarily the correct ones.

Hello next generation of douchebags~

That´s right KatKawaii v.v

>>5 Why would you blame the parents? A lot of times the way a child acts has nothing to do with the parent.

>>19 [citation needed]
A child's behavior is, for the most part, a result of classic Pavlovian conditioning. The teachers and children around them are partly responsible for their shaping, but a parent's actions are the single strongest influence on a child's behavior for their first couple decades of life. If the kid is a monster, that's because they were either taught that what they were doing was right by a monstrous parent, or simply never taught that it was wrong by a negligent or overindulgent parent.

It still doesn't mean the parents in this case are 100% to be blamed..

No, and honestly many if not most of the children are probably decent. But every child involved at least caved to peer pressure, and the leaders among them are monsters. There are many influences on those monsters, but the strongest and thus most to blame are the people who raised them, who were supposed to be teaching them right and wrong for the past several years.

Dude those kids should just die

>>21
The same way there really are horrible people, there are really horrible parents, and really horrible kids.

Sometimes a kid just has a problem, and it doesn't mean the parent could have been better to them, to prevent it.

Not all the time, could a problem be 100% solved just by a parent doing better. If they are doing the best they can, and it's seen as good, it could be some other problem.

Seriously, I've lost hope for this generation.
It's official.

God... I don't even know what to think anymore. I totally agree with Nakita-san.

If I was that woman, I'd smack the skin off their asses. Never too old for a good ol' ass whipping with a leather belt.

Honestly,i now hate the generation I'm in.Its really a shame.

I feel sorry,for her my father died a while ago. People like to insult his memory. But I don't let them because I know who he was.

totaly agree with you there CeltysCat =/ and for those kids they need to get their head put through a wall that was totaly messed up what they did to her =/

I think it's a mix of a lot of things. Bad parenting letting their kids do what they want, the government not allowing teachers to put kids in their place, and the kids them selves lacking morals. A child can be raised byu the best parents in the world and be a little fucker. I've met kids with the worse parents in the world and they grew up to be wonderful people. Yes, your up bringing has an effect on you, but YOU have a choice as to if you want to be a good person or not. Those kids chose not. As for going to hell..... That is between God and each of those kids. And it's none of our business where they end up after death.

She's a grown woman. She should be mature enough to handle this kind of situation. She put up with it. That is far from properly handling it. First of all, there was a lack of discipline on these kids. The second they started acting like that, she should have spoken up and made sure they were immediately removed from the bus and properly reprimanded. If they continued, their bus priviledges should have been revoked. Maybe it's because I'm from a school district that doesn't put up with that kind of shit, but I think that she was the one being far too soft. I also think the actual bus driver was really in the wrong for not interfering, but on the other hand, she should have spoken up in the first place. She's not doing the world any good by not pressing charges, either. That's the equivalent of telling those kids they can get away with anything.

These kids are fucked up. I mean, REALLY fucked up. But this resulting situation was even more screwy.

I do not support paying for her vacation. What about all of us kids who were bullied? Do we get paid vacations from school because we've had "such a hard time" ? No, we don't, because it's apparently not a big deal for kids to be bullied compared to adults. What, because she's "an old woman who wants to retire" and got bullied, she gets a paid vacation? I don't want to sound ungrateful, but com'on. I put up with this shit every day through middle school, and even with proof, nobody gave a fuck. I find it insulting the way this whole case is being handled. Some of us have to put up with equal and worse treatment every day of our schooling, and the teachers don't try to do anything about it at most places. But here, a single woman was bullied by kids, and suddenly it's a situation known nationwide and people are buying her a vacation? I don't understand the way the public thinks.

This is just so... wrong. It's wrong on so many levels. The kids were in the wrong, but at some points, so was she, and so are her supporters. I think there's way too much hype over one woman's experience.

>>33
tru dat

Seriously. This thread makes me want to purposely put myself in a position where I get "bullied" badly, record it, and put it on the news crying, "I just wanted a friend..! They're so mean!" or some shit... and then make a side comment on how I'm too poor to go to the GYLC, which I got invited to but had to push the invitation back a year to try to get the money...

...then, watch as the donations come flooding in....

Com'on, guys. It's not a bad idea, right?

Right?
...
Maybe my moral values are just too low right now.

I had an old bus driver that would stop the bus, get up, and scream in the face of someone he even SUSPECTED of acting naughty. He would have made a perfect yellow lantern.

Just a bunch of little punk-ass bitches with a pathetic sense of bravado.

Damn...
