I live in the area this happened and the amount raised for her is much much higher than the $9000.00 listed here. In fact it's $150,000,to clarify that's One Hundred Fifty thousand dollars raised...so far! In defense of the driver the incident happened in the rear of the bus..far from earshot of the driver. Part of the reason they use monitors is so the driver can concentrate on their job. As far as punishment for the offenders nothing has been determined as of today.

Totally disgusting - a prime example of why parents should be held responsible to some extent for the actions of their minors. Would this happen so often if parents were held accountable? Or would the parents be doing more to ensure their children are respectful at a minimum even when not under direct supervision. REgardless of Karens wishes those stupid pathetic losers should be charged as would someone in a DV incident regardless of the victims wishes. SHAME ON THOSE KIDS - SHAME ON THEIR PARENTS!!!! I hope the world remembers you forever - as the losers you are....

Good reason not to have Pat for a teacher..kids make mistakes. Some worse than others..judgemental b _ _ _ _ _ _ should not be teaching kids!!

The kids should not be allowed back on the bus..... let the parents have to pay a private driver to bring their kids back and forth for a school year.... then maybe the kids will learn to be respectful or others.... be tolerant and show kindness instead of showing how rude they are. If these were my students... I would refuse to teach them. Hopefully the women can retire now and be done with these rude kids.

Tsang..those kids should not kill themselves. But it's clear this woman is too old to be a school monitor..it's like how Regis is no longer with Kelly Rippa. Walmart greeter might be a safer enviornment.
