The kids these days...

Kids in Greece, NY bully a nice old woman trying to help out as a school bus monitor until she's in tears. I don't know about those reading this, but when I was a kid there was absolutely no way you'd get away with even calling the woman fat once, let alone the sheer level of abuse this woman had directed at her.

Thankfully, it's going viral and I'm looking forward to seeing these kids named and shamed.

I don't think much good lies in store for the guy who video'd it though!

Horrible little swines.

ETA: Why the hell didn't she get the bus driver to stop and throw them off.

tallus · 20-06-2012 7:47am

I blame the parents, little bastards showing no respect.

bb1234567 · 20-06-2012 7:51am

I just want to punch all those kids over and over again..

hondasam · 20-06-2012 7:52am

The lady did not seem to bothered, she sat through ten minutes of it. They are little scumbags.

Pfft* I've seen that kind of crap plenty of time on the Luas and Dublin Bus, and on occasion I've been subject to it when I've challenged the behavior of these kind of muppets towards other public transport users.

You wouldn't believe the kind of threats and abuse that can come out of the mouth of a 12 or 13yr old, all of course because the little sh1ts know damn well that I'm not about to punch out a minor (no matter how much they might deserve it).
What pisses me off the most about such occasions however are the 30-40 other people on the bus or train that suddenly find something really interesting to look at out the window.

What is a bus monitor supposed to do?

--Kaiser-- · 20-06-2012 11:21am

The kid's names are out on 4Chan and Facebook.
Hopefully they will be punished one way or another

Delphi91 · 20-06-2012 11:45am

They're named on the Youtube link as well - when I checked there was over 300 pages of comments! The kids names AND addresses are given on one of the pages.

Little tramps, nothing an uppercut to the jaw wouldn't have sorted out.

Oh & *insert obligatory moronic response about how it's not the fault of the children, it's the lack of amenities & in fact it's they themselves who have been let down by society

[Jackass] · 20-06-2012 12:29pm

Fu*king trolls. I hope they get what's coming to them.

4Chan justice for all!!

I dont think even the biggest of morons can excuse the kids in that video. Foul creatures those children,pure evil, as the top rated comment in the video suggest, I think a post birth abortion is really needed there. How any parent lets puke like that live in the same house as them is beyond me, if that was my child in that video and I say my own child behaving that theyd be out on the street, never forgive them for it, the poor old woman,god love her, they were so cruel.

bb1234567 · 20-06-2012 1:16pm

God watching that video makes me so angry,those kids need a good ol fashioned pimp slapping

The lady in the videos facebook account is KARREN HUFF KLEIN- her account came up straight away when I looked it up, so its not hard to find. Maybe send her a nice message, I did, saying sorry she had to endure those children and hope they get whats coming to them.

I saw her FB on the pastebin link, but i don't have FB. I'd nearly join up just to send her a comment. Moreover to see what people are saying on it about those little Cutnuts.

Allyall · 20-06-2012 2:23pm

They are talking about it on a Radio station now

Theres nothing on her wall posted about the thing on the bus. Youre not able to post on her wall unless youre a friend but youre able to send her a PM which is what I did.

Hmm i wonder if this woman wants any of this, she may be happy people are seeing the horrible abuse that she suffered or else she might just want this all to blow over, she hardly wants everyone in the world knowing about it..i know I wouldnt anyway

There isn't enough hours in the day to beat on those kids. Makes me sick! I Hope everyone involved gets what's coming to them. The poor woman

few threads on /b/ about it. The kids dont know whats coming their way.

Can anyone link to the thread on /b/? The one I found on pastebin isn't working.

Complaint filed. Nothing will likely come of it, but it takes only a minute & the more people that do it the more chance of this being taken seriously

ibarelycare · 20-06-2012 4:54pm

Hmmm just getting an error screen. Thanks anyway!

Although I do think these kids are total scumbags for what they did, and I hope they get a rightful punishment, I think posting up addresses and phone numbers of their family members is going way OTT.

They probably should have thought of that then before videoing it & putting it on the web to embarass the lady further. That would involve thinking though, fair game I say.

No they deserve whatever happens to them. They threatened to stab the old woman and egg her house and piss on her door, hopefully all those things will happen to them. Anyway how did they get the addresses and phone numbers!?

I agree that the kids deserve what's coming to them, but people were posting phone numbers of their siblings, one of their brother's girlfriends, etc. That's absolutely crazy, they didn't ask for any of that. Nor did their parents. Now I know the parents have to be at fault in some way for raising little shits like that but I just think with the mob mentality of 4chan, Reddit, etc., the whole posting of their addresses is dangerous.

Sure the poor old woman's address was posted too. Although most of the online world are championing her at the moment, who's to say what someone might do knowing where an elderly woman lives.

I also read on Reddit that one of the kids' names that was revealed is actually wrong and he had nothing to do with it.

I see what you mean, & no, they didn't ask for this & don't deserve it. But the lady in the video also never asked for it, & certainly didn't deserve the verbal assault inflicted upon her, & she certainly didn't want it shown to the world.

Some might say what goes around comes around, all I can hope though is that this will teach those involved about the responsibilities of their actions in the future

[Jackass] · 20-06-2012 5:20pm

I emailed the headmaster (David.Richardson@greece.k12.ny.us) and the superintendent of the school district (BARBARA.DEANE-WILLIAMS@greece.k12.ny.us) to complain.

Allyall · 20-06-2012 5:30pm

Yeah, i did start to think it was going a bit too far. They were posting their Parents work places and work colleagues too...

The guy they thought had nothing to do with it, was the guy making the Video, "Luiz" or something like that. He was saying he filmed it to show how bad they were to her. Other people on the bus said that was BS. That he was one of the main instigators, and he is the main instigator in the other video uploaded by the same guy afterwards.

What they did was appalling, and disgusting etc.. But to film it and upload it (As EnterNow said) is even more deranged. (Admittedly I didn't even think of that until EnterNow pointed it out). They obviously weren't thinking, or didn't think what they had done was a bad thing.. Also i don't know how much the parents actually are to blame, as kids probably can hide this type of behaviour easily enough, and only act that way as a group. So in that sense, i'd say it is partly society's fault, letting them thing that this somehow is cool. ~ i.e. I don't think that the parents

Although the outrage it has caused, has proven that society doesn't..

And they are apparently all "from a nice background."

Little cnts.

It can be the same over here, just because your posh doesn't make you any less capable of scum bag behaviour, & I've seen and met plenty of posh people who I'd class as scumbags.

Totally agree. I wrote that because they mentioned it once or twice on the radio.

Probably thought they were somehow entitled to abuse this lady.

EDIT:

I was just sent the video there in a link from my mother, (Who i had sent it to earlier

) So i watched it(ish). I just noticed they are also abusing her for being poor, at around 7:45 in the video onwards. They ask how much is her handbag, and that they'll buy it off her poor-ass.. Then when she says she knows where they live (her only form of defence), they make 'all-scared' noises and abuse her some more..

Funny thing is, that they are petrified now i'd say..

OhLongJohnson · 20-06-2012 8:37pm

4Chan are making a big fuss over this so it's safe to say that these guys are going to get what's coming to them.

On a nice note, an IndieGoGo fund was set up for the lady being bullied, Karen Klein, to send her on a vacation. Its goal was $5,000, it's already received over $7,000 and is rising extremely rapidly and it's open for another 30 days. Fund is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein?c=pledges

It's really remarkable how quickly the internet communities can come together. In one regard, for punishment as those lads will truly receive and for good, as Ms.Klein will.

It's a shame this was moved from After Hours though. This isn't just another video and it's a bit disappointing that it's being treated as such.

Allyall · 20-06-2012 8:58pm

^^^^
I'll be contributing to that (Albeit a small amount).

It seems these kids are all rich and very spoiled.. Reading more into who they are and where they're from, sounds like they'll probably get a rap on the knuckles, and it'll all be swept under a rug. Mommy and Daddy will pay for it to be rubbed out..

Sadder..

Local news just reported: 13WHAM's Patrice Walsh spoke with Karen Wednesday afternoon. Klein said the comment that hurt the most was when the kids said "you're so ugly your kid should kill themselves." Her son took his life 10 years ago.

LINK

Just noticed this..

She doesn't want to see anything happen to the kids, except maybe that they be grounded all summer, or for the year. She didn't hear most of the taunts because she is hearing impaired, It wasn't until she watched the video..

LINK

I'm honestly shocked by this.. I think this is the most active i've been in a thread..

OhLongJohnson · 20-06-2012 9:32pm

If you're familiar with the antics of 4Chan you'll know it's not the official punishment they receive that they have to worry about

This is a very sad video to watch. I hope their punishment is fitting and hopefully they really see the hurt they have caused this woman. Would be nice to see a video of them apologising to her... Kids are kids, studpid as they are sometimes. Everyone makes mistakes. Posting their families numbers and such is awful. Those that posted them are just as bad.

Just going by the money going to the women victim I can only assume the feeling for the people that did this goes the other way.
I cant see them being able to live where they do now.

The kids these days...
