School bus monitors, I had never heard of them. Do not condone the behavior the the students involved. However I ask what is a sixty-eight year old hard of hearing woman doing being paid to ride around in school bus? Ms Klein does not appear to be capable of monitoring anything. If Ms Klein had any authority, she appeared unable, or unwilling to exercise any of it.
Eric, these are your tax dollars at work.
From 13 WHAM [1]:
Greece, N.Y.- At a press conference Thursday, Greece Police said school bus monitor Karen Klein does not want to file criminal charges against the four students accused of bullying her on the school bus Monday.
A 10 minute-long video recorded by a student Monday includes vulgar and often vicious remarks aimed at 68-year-old Klein.
In the press conference Thursday, Greece Police said the four students involved are all seventh graders at Greece Athena Middle School.
Greece Police Captain Steve Chatterton said in New York State in order to charge someone under the age of 13, the action must rise to the level of a crime and they are still trying to detemine if a crime occurred.
