"It was only Wednesday when a video, showing 68-year-old Karen Klein being verbally attacked by middle school children, went viral. Now, just two days later, a campaign to raise $5,000 worth of vacation funds for the tormented bus monitor has now surpassed its goal, amassing a whopping $480,000. The generosity doesn&amp;#039;t stop there. CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper also revealed that Southwest Airlines is giving Klein and nine guests an all-expense-paid trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. As a grandmother of 8, Klein is used to adolescent behavior. But when it came to the children on the bus (who aren&amp;#039;t part of her family) she found it hard to fight back tears in response to their taunts. In an interview with CBS News, she was asked about her reaction and admitted she wishes she could&amp;#039;ve retaliated. &amp;quot;I sure would have-just wipe the snicker right off their faces,&amp;quot; she said, but instead, she stayed patient. Since the attacks, two boys and the father of a third have apologized for their actions. Besides the fundraiser, Klein has received tremendous support from across the country. If you&amp;#039;ve seen the video, let us know what you thought. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
