Justice: Kids Who Bullied Bus Monitor Get 1 Year Suspension

At last, justice has been served in the small town of Greece, New York. The children who bullied bus monitor Karen Klein have been officially disciplined. New York’s WHAM 13 reports:

The Greece Central School District announced on Friday that four students involved in bullying a bus monitor will be suspended from school and regular bus transportation for one year.

The district is legally required to provide the students with an education.

This means the students will be transferred to the district Reengagement Center. This program keeps middle school students on track academically. [...]

Each student will be required to complete 50 hours of community service with senior citizens and will complete a formal program in bullying prevention.

So reform school, suspension and community service. Sounds like a perfect trifecta of punishment for this lot. You can refresh your memory on the original incident here.

    The “SMALL town of Greece, New York” has a population of a little bit under 100,000.
    I hope Karen enjoys the money and has an easy road ahead. She deserves it.

      This is an appropriate adjudication for the little darlings. One year is perhaps a bit much but does send a very powerful message. The remainder of the punishment is exactly correct. I just wonder if this would have happened without national coverage?

      @DMERWIN

      Not at all.

      These kids should be punished. But celebrating the fact that they are being sent to a re-education camp, that’s what this is, is wrong. Sure, for now you support it, your passions are high and these little douche bags have something coming to them, a years worth of re-education camp seems right.

      While you might think that my opposition to them being re-educated by the government means I might condone their actions, I may think that your satisfaction with the punishment means you support re-education camps.

      The fact that this terrible story has people cheering on re-education camps just makes it all the more terrible IMHO. See past the passion and look and what is really happening here, this is being used to get the American people behind the idea of re-education camps.

      At least that’s the feeling I get from reading the article and then the comments. With out realizing it people are welcoming the very apparatus they would likely put the line later to stop. People are already falling for the trap.

      IMO the punishment is an example of justice well served. The decision came quickly, was severe enough to hopefully deter others of acting out and has also shown parents that they will be inconvenienced when their little darlings act up. Hooray for the school board and the bus monitors new found good fortune.

      So totally agree with you. Which speech is considered offensive speech and which is protected? NAMBLA’s website which promulgates the concept of pedophilia has been upheld as free speech. As repugnant as these teenagers behaviour was, is it protected free speech or do we, the USA, send those we deem to not speak “properly” to “formal programs”? Why is the ACLU defending the KKKs right to adopt a highway? Who defines FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

      What these kids did was despicable, but did this bus monitor deserve all that money. What is a bus monitor? Is that all they do, just ride the bus and ignore what goes on? It’s my understanding that no one would have known about the incident if one of the kids had not posted video on youtube. Is her job as monitor not to report bad behavior? I would bet that this was not the first time these kids had misbehaved. It should have been her job to report them.

They are already receiving death threats, going to psychologists, and having to face very public scrutiny; they are going through enough already. This sort of punishment can ruin the rest of their lives if not handled properly – all for making fun of someone who is now reaping massive rewards because of it.

These are children who made a mistake, not witches that deserved to be burned at the stake. Yes, they deserve to be punished but they already are having to endure a lot because this is so public. Community service and a prohibition from school activities…maybe sending them to summer school would be good but a year suspension goes too far.

      They were acting very immature, irresponsible, and extremely disrespectful. Some of their comments were violent. No, a year is not too long. The community service is not long enough. They are bratty, spoiled kids, some of whom have pathetic parents. All kids make poor decisions at one time or another, but many of those decisions don’t involve the hurtful, threatening behavior that these little brats displayed. They demonstrated just why the taxpayers have to pay for bus monitors. We never needed bus monitors when I was in school because parents expected their kids to behave on the bus and in public.

You ‘think’ like a leftist…they wouldn‘t have to endure the fallout if they hadn’t acted like a bunch of uncivilized savages, would they? I couldn’t care less what they have to endure as a result of their idiotic decisions, and you shouldn’t, either. I wonder if you’d raise your kids in the same fashion as these thugs.

      “Do not do the crime if you can not do the time” is an old saying that my parents taught me that has been a motto that I live by. If you will recall these kids threatened to stab her with a knife and come to her home to harass her. They thought it was funny to record the event and put it out on the web. Now they are crying about how they feel. Really? It is people and parents like you that do not hold children accountable and tell them that everything they do is wonderful and how entitled they are. Our society has several generations of children that have no respect for anything but $$ and self.

      I say Boo…hoo to their school suspension, community service and bullying class. However, to those hypocrites who are making threats to them I hope that you are caught and are punished more severely than these kids.

      FYI, making a verbal threat to someone in such a way that makes them fearful is considered an assault. Touching someone in a threatening manner is considered an assault. These kids are lucky they did not end up in juvenile detention. From the level of punishment I am certain this is not the first time these kids have been in trouble.

    But I suppose school is worried about a lawsuit if a kid was to get hurt while doing the community service. Hopefully their parents step up with their punishment as well. I also hope the kids really did learn a lesson and can take a dark time in their life and use it to become a better person tommorrow.

Here’s an idea — instead of one year going to school in a different place, how about they sacrifice an entire summer vacation taking extra classes? They’ll end up better educated than many of their classmates, and they‘ll have all summer to wish they hadn’t been such monsters while their other friends enjoy the 3 month vacation. I‘ sure their parents wouldn’t mind saving on some childcare costs as well.

There are a few situations where the parents do the right thing with their kids but certain kids are like a force of nature and need to be watched from the time they are small until they become decent people in early adult hood. Even then, there are a number of those who never turn out right because of factors beyond anyone’s control. I’ve seen it happen.

    Why 50 hours with senior citizens? Those teens were making fun of the bus monitor because she was fat, not because she was old.

    Why punish old folks with these criminals? These little pukes are capable of harming the old folks. Make them clean public toilets instead. Leave the innocent old folks out of this.

      Yes they said mean things about her weight and or size…but it was based on her age and her obvious inability to do anything about it. When society finally gives the word that its OK to fight back, then and only then will things change. Me and my peers feared what a grownup might unleash on us if we got to out of line so this kept us inline.

      I don’t understand why kids DO stuff like this at all.I didn’t abstain from this behavior out of fear, it just never would have occurred to me to do something like this ever!

      Hopefully someone with some b___s and a brain took over. Not only will this punish the kids, but the parents will also suffer as they must transport their little darlings on a daily basis. Perhaps all involved learned some life’s lessons and will grow up to be responsible adults.

      No, they’re sending them to a school of bad kids where they can pick up more skills. Make their parents homeschool them, give them a test at the end of the year and if they fail, they get held back a year. That way the parents have to do something about their education, get involved. Believe me, homeschooling a child will change your perspective.

      I agree 100% with you loriann12, but as a parent that home schooled my daughter, I know that it takes parents that get involved. I wonder how involved/motivated these boy’s parents would be. Let’s face it, the real root of the problem is the parents.

      The Real Root of the Problem is Not the Parents, it is Societal. America has turned into a nation of Entitlement, no personal responsibility for your actions, no respect for others and no morality. This has been happening since the beginning of the Progressive movement in America. Just a little more time and America, as we have known it, will no longer exist. The fault lies with the American people for re-electing the same, or the same type, of politicians time after time. If this doesn’t change very, very soon America is doomed.

      Wait! How do minorities typically mete out punishment when they are ridiculed, mocked, insulted whatever words you wish to use for this? They kick their sorry butts! If I insulted an adult in my day like this I would have been black n blue. First at school then at home! Unfortunately this is the way it must be! We’ve tried both methods now and we can see the results. Those of us who had corporal punishment at both home and school turned out to be productive citizens and good Americans….not everyone went postal because of it, just the opposite in fact. We need to get back to basics for this up and coming generation who will be our caretakers someday. Can you imagine the abuse you will suffer at their hands when your in your 80s-90s? Fix em now! Or deal with them later.

      Went to a small school where you really felt someone cared about you. Had open campus so we could go the the corner store for lunch hour. We mostly didn’t get beaten, but we almost all came back each and every day. Loved it! Then student taught in another small school with a closed campus. It felt like a prison. Kids behaved poorly. Now the schools are huge and we have more and more problems with behavior. I think we have to undo many of the changes of the last 30 years.

      “What is this praise be to obama crap?”

      It’s usually meant as a slander to our new King.

      A take-off from “Praise Be Unto Him”, or PBUH, which some say Muslims have a habit of saying amongst themselves.

      Psalms 109:8 says, ‘Let his days be few; and let another take his office.’ The citation is being passed around the Internet as a rallying cry against President Obama.

      Suing is pathetic. All people want to do anymore is sue, sue, sue. And all that does is reinforce the need/desire for more ambulance chasers. Let’s get off the sue bandwagon and fix things without money/greed being involved.
