Bus monitor harassed into tears...

[96Firebird]

This happened local to me, so I thought I'd share. Really sucks that this lady had to put up with this nonsense. I'm only 24, and when I was in school this never happened. The last 10 years have really changed, these kids are complete fuckwads.

The video has strong language and may be disturbing, probably NSFW because of the language.

And there is a fundraiser going on to send her on a vacation because she makes so little at her job. It is already at $50k on its first day!

everyone of the kids should be expelled permanently from the public school system or the parents can trade 1 year in jail.

wtf is a bus monitor?

 

[Baked]

This is what happens when you combine parents who are more concerned about making money than spending time with their children, internet, and cable TV.

[BrokenVisage]

Disgusting, and such colorful words.

 

[Ns1]

You know, I saw the same behavior in the movie "BULLY", and I must say kids are a lot different now than when I was in HS (a mere 15 years ago)

yeah flipping rocks or turning tricks.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Each of those kids deserve a good beating. Friggin disgusting.

 

[Mackie2k]

Donated, hope she never has to work again. I hope these children lose their rights to attend public school and/or use the bus ever again. Make their parents pay for their private education going forward. They should also be charged with Assault, Harassment and whatever else they can find to charge them with, AS ADULTS, because it takes an adult mindset to act like this.

 

[BudAshes]

This was standard fair on my freshman bus rides, though we never had an old lady riding the bus with us. I remember this one huge guy that was way older than everyone else calling a somoan kid a dirty fat pineapple and throwing shit at the back of his head. To be fair the kid was a prick but he didn't deserve that.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You can thank sue-happy parents for this. The kids were clearly being pussies and seeing just how far they could push her, and some discipline to make up for an obvious deficiency from the parents of these bastards would shut them up.

 

[sygyzy]

What a sad story. I don't even want to watch the video.

 

[BrokenVisage]

lol @ the top YouTube comment "Where's Jigsaw when you need him?"

Seriously though.

IMHO that is the exact difference.

When I was in school this type of behavior was acceptable between students; we NEVER talked like that to an adult to their face (only behind their backs)

Pieces of trash need to be skinned.

Kids are a product of their environment. It makes you wonder what kind of households they are coming from, the parents must be completely absent or useless altogether.

I'm 26 and I've noticed even in my short time there does seem to be a degradation of society taking place of common human decency. The future does not bode well if kids like these are being created.

I think its kind of like the internet / P&N. Its easier to act like a jackass when everyone else is acting like a jackass.

 

[sixone]

Newsflash: it ain't just kids. There are "adults" doing this kind of crap all over the internet.

 

[Franz316]

Yeah I know there is a mob mentality with kids and people sometimes. You would hope there was at least one kid on the bus that would have the courage to try and stop it.

Some form of discipline is in order but that is probably just a short term solution. There needs to be positive reinforcement for kids and that comes from the parents and other adults.

wtf is a bus monitor?

Bus monitoring is a term used in Flight Test when capturing data from avionics buses and networks in data acquisition telemetry systems.

Typically a bus monitor must listen-only on the bus and intercept a copy of the messages on the bus. In general a bus monitor never transmits on the monitored bus. Once the bus monitor has intercepted a message, the message is made available to the rest of the data acquisition system for subsequent recording and/or analysis[2].
There are three classes of bus monitor:

1. Parser bus monitor
2. Snarfer bus monitor
3. Packetizer bus monitor

I couldn't get myself to watch the video. That's utterly and disgustingly vile behavior.

I had this discussion with my mother regarding a neighbor's kid who she saw getting bullied. I told her that in elementary school I was getting bullied and the easiest way to quell such behavior was to punch them in the mouth. I cracked the kid's tooth, he cried like a baby and he never spoke a word to me after that. You really don't get that nowadays and it's something that should be learned at the pre-teen level because once they hit puberty it's exponentially worse. Grandma can't throw a punch or she'll break her hip but somebody else should.

 

[xanis]

Out of all the terrible shit going on these days, this upsets me more than it probably should. Fuck those kids and fuck the parents that let them get like that.

Maybe if we're lucky they'll all die in a nice bus crash (where the driver and monitor make it out, of course).
