Bullying happens at all ages.

they need the shit beaten out of them. no better lesson.

The parents are the ones at fault, IMO. . .

Serious lack of empathy shown to that lady. At first I thought it was fake but judging by the cowering nature of those "bullying" they too are under the control of some perhaps controlling sociopathic personality. Well thats my take on it anyhow.

Poor lady. Sick that the kids mocked her saying that her whole family killed themselves cause they couldn't bear to be near her, when her young son committed suicide 10 years ago and her husband passed away not long after that.

The lack of empathy is astounding, I can't imagine ever reducing a grown woman to tears and not caring.

If she were my mother or grandmother I'd probably knock those kids out. Not a reasonable reaction by any means, but that video made me so angry. Poor woman. I hope she enjoys an early retirement with that fund, she deserves it.

Sorry,but my post still stands. . .

my wife was bullied by students and teachers in presentation college, terenure because she is blind in one eye. she was called a twit and dumb on numerous occasions by teachers because she couldnt see the blackboard and was stopped from going on school tours when her vision had no reason to stop her.
in the end her parents removed her from the school and were considering legal action but they would have been going up against the state and could have lost their home had their case lost. its years ago now but some of them teachers are still there and could be still bullying students

Do you think bullying will stop because of one incident?
It happens every day,everywhere, and if you lose your job, house or livelihood because of bullying , you're going to have to tell someone. . .

I think we should blame rap music.

My grandmother would never stand for that. If a couple of kids started mouthing off to her, she'd stand up to them, proberly give them a slap too. Poor woman nonetheless. Got to wonder what makes people act like that. Bunch of animals.

Real tough aren't they picking on an old woman.

Would love to see all those little bastards get a hiding some day and have the word ''scumbag'' tattooed to their heads. What a sick thing to do to somebody. I could only manage to watch the first two minutes of that video before getting pissed off.

Some people might not agree but I'd be very surprised if anything like that would happen in this country !

Oh it definitely would.

Think that this video going viral is enough punishment for them tbh, death threats definitely not needed, these kids are 12 ffs. Likewise all these wishes for violence upon them, shows that you're no better than them. Were they bullies and do they deserve to be punished? Yes. Should they have the shiit kicked out of them? No.

God I've seen some horrible twisted things on the Internet but this is just completely heartbreaking to watch. Imagine if that was your mother, sister or granny and you found out they had to endure that crap. They should be severely punished and a hard slap wouldn't go astray either. If one of them were my kids I'd beat the living **** out of them and get them on their hands and knees and apologise to that woman a million times.

Hope she keeps getting the money rolling in and enjoys every last cent of it.

WTF was the driver doing? Surly he heard something? No deserves that treatment.

God I hate bullying!!

We all did bad things as kids. Granted this is pretty rotten, and probably a lost worse than any of us did as kids, but kids can naturally be extremely mean. I remember our entire class making a new student teacher cry, although I don't remember anyone going to this extreme, I don't recall any personal insults, just general messing! We all grow out of it. I imagine these kids would have been horrified even if this wasn't recorded and they though about it 10 years from now.

Two things I thought of while watching is that,
perhaps society (in America at least) has gotten too liberal and soft on kids progressively over the years. Maybe it's time to go back a little bit.
I never appreciated being hit as a child and have even previously said so on boards. But growing up in the 90s it was fairly minimal at least. It wasn't acceptable to go overboard, but still perfectly okay to give a kid a smack in public when they were way out of line. I think this might be a good level of tolerance towards physical punishment of children. Although, I still feel that consistent parenting would be enough without having to smack the child in 99% of cases.

Another point is that in the age we live in of youtube and smart phones, we are now all judging these kids. I'm sure there are a few awful things each of us have done that perhaps we can't even recall that would get some fairly extreme negative reaction too.
I read that these kids addresses have been leaked online, and they're receiving death threads. Two wrongs obviously don't make a right as the saying goes.
It's up to the parents/school to deal with this, despite how uncomfortably mean it all was.

But yea, it was one of the more shocking videos I've seen on the internet, and that's saying something!
