Abuse to 68 year old bus monitor by middle school kids
I hope these kids get the discipline they deserve. A fund set up by a man from Toronto has reached over $500K...Karen Klein earns $3K per year.

Some of the kids have apparently apologized (good parents). Mob mentality/peer pressure, ya know. But shocking none the less.

As usual I think most apologies were in the vein of "sorry I got caught", and Wow this blew up in my face. However they are young and rash. A little time served in a senior center seems to be in order. And maybe a visit from grandma to watch the video with them.

Re: Abuse to 68 year old bus monitor by middle school kids
Interesting you should say that. I was talking to my daughter about her kids a few weeks ago and she was saying pretty much the same things. When she catches them up to no good, they say "sorry" and seem to think that's it. She said their always shocked when she with-holds their allowance or grounds them. It's always, "Mom, I said I was sorry."

I watched it and was horrified. Promptly launched into a lecture with the stinky teens how if I ever found out they did something like that I would beat them to within an inch of their lives, and I have NEVER laid a finger on my kids.
I know that if I got a visit from a cop showing me my kids on a video like that, the conversation would go :
'Officer, I think you may want to leave the room because what I am about to do will result in you arresting me'
'I will be sitting in my car ma'am. let me know when you're done'

There are some calls for her to give back $15k - her annual salary - as she wasn't capable of doing her job as a bus monitor. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-...b_1618995.html (and others).

"Sorry" is not like a papal indulgence, and it's not a ticket that allows you to offend as long as you say "sorry" afterwards.
