I'm gonna leave this here. My thread title says enough
Oh jeez. All their personal information is already on the internet. A few of them have had to close down their facebook accounts.
I am so angry right now.......
EDIT: Big thread about it on 4chan. There's information on the addresses, phone numbers, and facebook accounts of all of the kids and even some of the parents.
Not even gonna watch it. Don't want to start my day pissed off.
then why did u post it :P that video is so low and sad that it doesnt deserve any publicity.Quote:

At what point does she inform the bus driver to pull over and call the cops? C'mon...
I mean, yeah, the kids are assholes...but wtf is going on there?
Also, this is stupid of everyone to be saying. I'm sure all those kids know better. And thats what makes it really ****ed up. If they were just stupid and didn't know that was inappropriate, it'd be one thing. But they know exactly what they're doing and still persist. Don't blame the parents. Those kids are old enough to know better on their own and deserve the full punishment themselves. I almost bet those kids are treated like golden little saints at home. And this is how they behave when not under constant supervision.Quote:

As for the vacation fund, Hawkins said her mother was considering a Disney cruise for the whole family. She said the response to the situation shows that being nicer is the way to go.
Awesome =]
Also, so far over $100,000 has been raised for Karen. It originally had a goal of $5,000, just to send her on a nice vacation, but now the internet is trying to give her enough money to retire on :(

As the internet, together we are an unstoppable and powerful higher being. Gotta love combing to form intergod.
Really? Took you that long? Doesn't even phase me anymore. This is the prime example of what needs to be removed from our society.Quote:

Now that I checked back 3-4 hours later it's already up by more than 10k :3
And it's still a freaking month left! Vacation of a lifetime indeed.
@Oisterboy
What is she going to do? Her job is to ask them to stop and if they don't, to report them not stopping. It can't go beyond that. They can't kick kids off the bus and the cops can't arrest kids for doing something that is not against the law but rather against school rules. She sure as hell can't touch them.
Holy shit, I just checked that, it is almost $210,000 and there is still about one month to go.Quote:

Well, it was basically at $260,000 when I checked a few minutes ago.Quote:

I find it hard to sympathize with the idea of giving her tons of money.
Can someone explain to me how she deserves that? I don't see it as a "touching gesture". I would be insulted even more.
I'd take it, but it wouldn't make me proud.
Basically; It's the same insult in a different package.
why an insult? One guy decided to brighten the day a little for her by trying to raise some money so she can get a nice vacation as a certain "compensation" for this accident.Quote:

That's a funny way to compensate someone for being insulted as poor.
Just saying.
Quick guys. Let's turn this thread into a deep, in-depth discussion on our society, its treatment of the elderly, and any faults/ failings it may have but how we need to live with them because life sucks.
Go.
I don't like it how poor means miserable and so on.
She didn't look that miserable.
She looked upset, but not shaken.
I would take that as a sign, that there really isn't a need to "fix her life". She looked as if her life has enough value already, she has kids, she can do w/e she wants basically and she made it through life on her own. Humble tokens of respect are one thing, but this is getting far from being humble.
This is some sort of detached self-gratification thing, some idea of gaining a victory over the situation, rather than anyone even caring what will happen to her life.
I want to reply to this, but everything I come up with sounds heartless and cold.
She doesn't deserve any money for this.
What will happen to her life is that she is going to be filthy rich after this incident thanks to the awesome internet bandwagon.Quote:

No, things are not worst. Each years it gets less and less serious because of the amount of bullshit the parents give us for getting their kids in trouble. They threaten to contact the board and that's the end of that. ChildxChild is different than ChildxAdult situations as well.Quote:

They have already raised 400k for Karen.
Maybe she can finally retire.
It still has 29 days to go.
http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein?c=home
Damn, I wonder how much she'll have after the next 29 days?
I'd think it would top out after a set amount of time. Its still pretty popular, I'm seeing it on my local news. Although I live pretty close to where it happened.
It will be interesting to see though :)
At this rate she'll have like 13mill by the end of the month. :|Quote:

Jesus wtf 563k???
Fascinating.Quote:

I could see a fund going towards helping her pay bills to maybe find a better job, but what happened was overkill.Quote:
