Somebody should have beat their little ass. If I was the bus aide the news story would've went a little different.

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 fucking 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!

That video was my life on the bus ride to school, a new set of people all through school hours and the bus ride home from 3rd grade until I switched to a technical school in 11th. Not a penny to show for it. But aging gracefully helps, lol.

The kids were all suspended from school and the bus service for one year. They will also have to complete community service:

The four middle school students who verbally harassed bus monitor Karen Klein will each be suspended from school and bus transportation for one year and must complete 50 hours of community service with senior citizens, according to a statement released this afternoon by the Greece Central School District.
