Disgusting...

[MrsAggie]

I may be a little late on the Karen Klein incident but I just saw the video of the bullying. I cried the whole time and had to stop halfway through. What is wrong with these kids??

I've seen it floating around on FB. But it is terrible. I would be embarrassed to be their parents.

I did read an article that there was a vacation fund for the bus driver that has topped something like 300,000!!! Humanity back in action!

Apparently it's up to $540,000 now. Crazy! Maybe it's a southern thing but I just can't imagine disrespecting my elders. I'm just floored at how far they took it. I wonder what their home life is like?

It's almost at $560k now.

I would fucking destroy my kids if they ever acted even half as bad as those kids. Destroy them.

I hate to be the person who says "blame the parents" because at some point it comes down to the individual and not the parents. But they definitely need to take some responsibility for their children's behavior in this case. I don't remember ever making fun of people when I was younger. I'm not saying my parents raised me perfect, but I was never a brat like that.

Stan posted this on her fb one night and I couldn't make it through the video. It made me feel sick to listen to how they were treating her. If I had EVER even THOUGHT of acting like that, my parents would have had me buried in the ground within 5 minutes of it.

I couldn't finish the video. It made me sick to see someone treat another human being that way. If my kid ever acted that way I would kick his ass. Did you hear that they were saying something along the lines of you're so ugly you should just kill yourself, and apparently her son had committed suicide?

Here's some responses from the kids and parents:

And talks of punishment (which they won't disclose)

There was an "apology" issued:http://www.whec.com/news/stories/S2666028.shtml?cat=566

I watched that today too. I was so sick to my stomach. That poor woman. I'm not for bullying (even bully's getting bullied), but I hate to say I was sort of satisfied to hear that those kids were getting raked over the coals at school and in their town. What they said to that woman was just hideous. The parents should absolutely be ashamed of them.

[amaristella]

I think I watched....45 seconds. Is this what internet culture is doing to our youth? I just can't even explain how this would happen. I mean, kids were mean to other kids when I was in middle school maybe, but seriously not like that.

[drunkpeggy]

I didn't watch more than the clips that were on the Today Show because I know I don't want to hear what these children said but I was glad to hear that some of the parents were honestly embarrassed. I'm with Betty...these kids deserve every embarrassment that comes their way.

[twoplustwo]

I read on an article somewhere that the kids posted the video because people post videos of bulling like, all the time yo. And they wanted to be internet famous.

Guess they got what they wanted. x100. Little Assholes.

If I ever would have dreamed of doing something like I would have been picking myself up off the floor, my parents did not put up with disrespect.

[MrsAggie]

My mom was downright disgusted with Justin Bieber when he flirted with Barbara Walters awhile back. She was floored at how disrespectful it was. Ok, if I was in a video like this?? I wouldn't still be alive. There would be no "letter". My ass would be immediately taken over to this woman's house to apologize profusely and then I wouldn't have seen the light of day until I was at least 18. I hope these kids learn a lesson from all of this.

$605K now! I read they're keeping it open until 7/20, so it has the potential to get HUGE. Whoa.

I think its amazing how many people have come out in support of her. Not necessarily via their wallets, but just in general. I watched all 10 horrifying minutes of that clip and I'll tell you, those children are pure evil. I can't imagine them saying that to another kid, let alone a grandmother type figure. I think a lot of kids that age will see this footage and hopefully learn a valuable lesson. Maybe.
