(Reuters) - Donations to a fundraising website for a grandmother bullied by middle-school students on a bus reached $650,000 on Monday afternoon, a record for the website, after a video of the abuse topped 7 million views on YouTube. Karen Klein, a 68-year-old bus monitor from Greece, New York, was bullied until she cried by Greece Middle School students in a video uploaded on YouTube on Wednesday. Brian Klein, Karen's son, said the support the family has received has been overwhelming, and that the family was grateful for it. The fund on indiegogo.com, originally intended to send Klein on a vacation, will take donations until July 20, after which she will get the money minus deductions by the company. A representative from indiegogo.com said Klein's fundraiser is the fastest- and largest-grossing fundraiser in the website's history. Previously, the website's largest fund raised around $320,000. Klein will receive 93 percent of the money donated to her. Four percent will go to indiegogo, and 3 percent will go toward credit card processing fees. Aside from the money, Southwest Airlines has given Klein a three-night trip to Disneyland in California for her and her eight grandchildren. She also has been given a free week-long vacation by the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort in Florida. (Reporting By Joseph O'Leary; Editing by Greg McCune and Xavier Briand)

Spot

The 2 boys got 1 year suspension

This is ridiculous. She was the bus monitor, She was responsible for their behaviour.

SOB

In the US bus monitors can only write students up for possible disciplinary action by the school's principle.  She isn't allowed to restrain them and she certainly isn't allowed to hit them, so exactly what do you expect a 68 year old woman to do given that situation?

You want to blame someone for those children's behavior?  Then blame the people most responsible, the parents.  If their parents had bothered to properly raise and socialize those worthless little animals then the whole incident wouldn't have happened.

While what they did was obviously wrong.
We need to stop wrapping fat people up in a bubble of 'cant touch this'.
They need the same public reaction as anorexic people get.

It is natural for a 68 year old woman to have put on some weight. It is what happens to humans (especially women) when they get older. Ask a doctor.

Yeah but she was obese, not just a bit of extra body weight.

All I am saying is that both what the kids done, and what society does is unhealthy. Just two different extremes.

bring back the cane .....

That's because the majority of people living in the third world are to poor to afford a proper diet.  Which reminds me of a joke...

Q: How can you kill fifty flies with a single swap of a news paper?

A: Smack an Ethiopian kid in the face.

I am so going to hell for that one...

Even the best parents can be let down by selfish offspring.

More fuss was made over this, than when it actually happens to kids.

And that would make it her fault that those children are hateful little crotch spawn that should have been drowned at birth how?

Yeah, barring some very specific psychological disorders, that's a crock of a sh*t and we both know it.  How a child is raised is and should always be the responsibility of the parents. If the child turns into a spoiled, hateful, self-indulgent prick with a five mile long entitlement complex I blame the parents for raising the kid to be like that.

I don't blame society, I don't blame music, I don't blame video games, I blame the people that are actually supposed to be responsible for raising and setting an example for their children.  The people that spawned the little turds.

To tell the honest truth, the kids in that video make me want to invent a time machine for the sole purpose of going back in time to just before those kids were conceived so I can grab their mothers by the ears and force them to swallow that load so some poor 68 year old lady wouldn't have those horrible little mutants inflicted on her.

In general you are right, but some kids can turn rogue all by themselves.

I'm not saying what they did was right, I'm just saying that what society does isn't right either.
