Have you seen this video yet?
I’m not much of a crybaby, but this video had my blood boiling and the tears flowing. All I could think was how angry I would be if someone talked to my mother that way. My mother passed away in 2008 so perhaps I am overly sensitive, but I don’t think so.
This video shows exactly what is wrong with society. Yes, I am aware how old that makes me sound. However, when I was a kid, there would be no getting away with crap like that.
I understand these are children we are talking about, but 13 years old is more than old enough to know when your words will hurt someone. Do they have no rules at home? No respect for others? Or themselves? I’ve read than some of the kids involved are receiving death threats, which is ridiculous and obviously completely inappropriate, however, I do believe in harsh punishment for this, especially because they probably did this every day. Just because there is only one video doesn’t mean the bullying only happened once. If you think a slap on the wrist is punishment fit for this crime, picture your own mother sitting on that bus for a minute and then tell me how you feel.
Very sad. I wonder what I would have said to them myself and just don’t know.
Same here, Sheila. I couldn’t even deal with the way this video made me feel. All I could picture was my mother or grandmother sitting in that seat. So awful.
On the bright side, it looks like Karen will be able to retire! The Indie Go-Go fundraiser to give her a vacation has reached over $600, 000! http://bit.ly/MnlSxN
