Internet Raises More That 200k For Bullied Bus Monitor

By now, I'm sure you would have watched the video of Karen Huff Klein, a 68-year-old bus monitor for the Greece Central School District in Rochester, New York, getting verbally abuse by a group of demon middle schoolers. Good news is that the school district held a press conference today where they said they would punish all the students involved. The Greece Police Department have also opened up their own investigation and questioned several of the students.

Karen gave an interview to Democrat and Chronicle. You can watch the video below. She told the interviewer that since she's hearing impaired, she didn't hear a lot of the abuse that came from the kids. But she heard it all when she watched the video. Karen said that the hardest thing for her to hear was when one of the kids said that her children should kill themselves. Karen's son commited suicide 10 years ago. On Today this morning, Karen says she hopes the students are punished and so far none of them have apologized to her. Karen has worked for the district for over 20 years and has been a bus monitor for 3. Karen plans to continue to work in the school system, because she says not all kids are evil.

A fundraiser was set up to give Karen a dream vacation or something to help with her retirement. When I checked just now, it was at $202,000. All I can say is wow. I would never underestimate the power of the internet ever again.
