Remember Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who was viciously harassed by her middle school charges in a video that went viral in June? Her story had a happy ending, as an internet fundraising campaign to send the 68-year-old on a “nice vacation” raised over $700,000 from 32,000 people around the world. That’s more than enough money for Klein to retire from the yellow school bus grind.

Karen Klein, a 68-year-old bus monitor in Greece, N.Y., was brought to tears because of constant verbal harrassment from middle-school children on the bus she monitors daily. What is our world coming to? This video infuriated me because no-one deserves to be talked to that way, especially from children! Now, Ms. Klein has given an interview in regards to the public's outreach.
