School Bus Abusers Suspended
Finally-
Nearly two weeks after 68-year-old bus monitor Karen Huff Klein was verbally harassed to the point of tears, her four teenage abusers have received one-year suspensions from school and the bus.
They have been ordered to complete 50 hours apiece of community service with senior citizens, and they’ll continue their studies at the local “Reengagement Center,” where middle school students with behavior issues are kept on track.
Klein, meanwhile, stands to receive at least $667,000 in donations amassed online after the video of her abuse went viral.

Who’s bright idea is it to place these losers with seniors? Would you want these creeps hanging out with your grandma?

Maybe she can share a little with the lady who was fired for not cashing the EBT card for that punk’s cigarettes….

@Jethro, that was my first thought when I read about the EBT non-cashier.
I’m glad that some of the atrocious behavior by feral children made the media. OTH, and I may be unpopular by saying so, that kind of thing doesn’t happen on the first day it’s seen. Either she hadn’t been doing her job and let it get that far, or the district had been unresponsive to her reports. Or somewhere in the middle.
Either way, a happy ending. I hope she stays off the bus.

I don’t wish to be callous and I am happy for the support she received, however, I am left wondering; why would anyone place this elderly lady on a school bus as a monitor?
Obviously she was not the best fit for the job. I mean, wouldn’t common sense dictate that you want someone who is able to control the punks or at the very least, not be so easily intimidated by verbal abuse ?
Kids, especially these days, like animals, can smell timidity.
