Karen Huff Klein Bullying Video Sparks Police Investigation, Unearths Similar YouTube Videos
A disturbing 10-minute video uploaded to YouTube Tuesday, showing middle school students bullying a bus monitor for the Greece, New York, Central School District, Karen Huff Klein, has sparked an investigation by both the school district and the police department.
The school district is located in Monroe County near Rochester and is the ninth-largest district in New York State.
The incident allegedly happened on Monday. District Assistant Superintendent Deborah Hoeft told reporters that school authorities have confirmed the woman is an employee and that the school bus was carrying students.
Hoeft said after school officials were made aware of the video the district's bullying and violence response team was activated to conduct an investigation.
"We have discovered other similar videos on YouTube and are working to identify all of the students involved," Hoeft said. "The bus involved in this incident was carrying middle school students, all of whom are juveniles."
Hoeft added that though the students' behavior was "inexcusable" school officials are worried for the safety of all those who were involved in the incident.
"We urge patience to allow us to investigate and determine the appropriate discipline," she said. "Currently our district security staff and police are interviewing all of those involved."
The police have also assigned an investigator who will work with the school in the ongoing investigation.
Hoeft said though she cannot speak on what specific punishments will be meted out to those who are implicated in the incident, they will in fact face "strong disciplinary action."
According to the Democrat and Chronicle, Klein is a grandmother of eight living in Greece. She worked for the district for 23 years and was a bus driver for 20 of those years. Klein learned of the bullying video on Wednesday through Facebook. She watched it at the district bus garage. It was then that Klein, who is hearing impaired, really heard all the mocking she went through, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
"It was like 'wow,'" she said. "I can't believe it happened ... It was just plain mean. Nobody should have to put up with that."
In the video, Klein can be seen wearing a blue top and sunglasses, sitting in the bus minding her own business. A group of students in the background can be heard calling her derogatory names such as "f--king fat ass," "dumb a--" and told her that she was so fat she occupied the entire seat. At one point, Klein took her glasses off and was told to put them back on because she is "looking like a troll."
Klein told the students that if they didn't have anything nice to say, then they shouldn't say anything at all.
Tears began rolling down her cheeks, but that didn't stop one student from teasing her about her "f---king ugly a-- earrings."

gosh, that's in greece? very sad.
i catch the school bus here sometimes and the kids are a bit stroppy, like not wanting to share their seat with me but then we might have a conversation and they'll say goodbye as they leave.
other kids are fine and chatty. most are very friendly to the bus drivers too. we are out in the rural area, but has a lot of folk around the towns most days.
i only feel sad about the kids not saying hello, sometimes, when i talk to them.
never had to deal with that kind of cruelty like on the video. i would tell the kids to get st*****.
only on PF, lol.
some of the kids gets a bit ratty here, some days

Here in Holland there are these old ladies who have a thing for "exotic men" so they hang around asylum-seekers camps or other places where there are lots of foreigners.
When I work with new-comers and asylum-seekers I often notice that there are these weird old women hanging out with them.
Faye reminds me of those old women.Originally posted by FirdousiComment
