 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, “You’re so fuckin poor you fat ass,” in which Karen responds, “I try to live by some of these words, I try and it’s really hard,” referring to the words on her purse. Now, I don’t know about you, but that broke my heart. There’s even a point in the video where one of the kids touches Karen’s arm in an attempt to make fun of her. I’m 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!

– She may officially be $500,000 richer, but bullied school bus monitor Karen Klein is unimpressed with the apologies she's gotten so far from the foul-mouthed kids caught bullying her in a now-infamous video. "Of course he's going to say anything," Klein said of one apology to Anderson Cooper at CNN. "Josh, he always has a smirk on his face ... I don't think I would believe anything Josh has to say and I didn't want to talk to him today." While Klein said she "doesn't think" she'll press charges, she does want to see the kids involved punished. "I would like them to be kept off the bus for at least a year and forbidden to play any sports at least for a year. Someone mentioned community service and I thought that was a pretty good idea, too." Meanwhile, the indiegogo campaign to raise $5,000 to send Klein on vacation continues to surge, rocketing from $260,000 yesterday past the half-a-million mark (and growing and growing) today. "I still can't believe it," Klein said of the the support. And at the end of the CNN interview, Cooper told Klein that Southwest Airlines has offered to send her and nine others to Disney World in Florida for three nights. "Wow, that's too much," she said, amazed. "I don't feel like I've done anything, you know?"
