Taunted Bus Monitor To Get $95K Dream Vacation

Posted: Updated:

A shocking new bullying video has gone viral. An elderly school bus monitor is reduced to tears by taunting middle school students.

Karen Klein is there to help keep the kids safe and curb bullying. Instead, she becomes the victim of a vicious attack.

For at least 10 minutes, several kids on the bus repeatedly mock her, targeting her age and weight.

They accuse of her of wanting to rape children, ask her if she has an STD and joke they'll throw eggs at her house.

On the clip (you can watch it at the bottom of the page), the middle school kids call her fat and make fun of her for crying.

Klein said she had no idea this video even existed until police in Rochester, N.Y., asked her to help identify the students.

School officials and police say they will discipline the students involved.

An international crowd-funding site had raised over $95,000 to send the grandmother on a vacation.

Meanwhile, there's been an outpouring of support for Klein on the Internet, including on the FOX 29 Facebook page.
