I, too, am shocked at some of the responses on this thread. These punks are future Kleibold and Harrises - with the filthiest mouths I’ve ever heard. No elderly American should have to put up with that corrusive, evil behavior.
Miss M, the people on this thread defending/excusing/complaining ARE THE VERY REASON those little BXtards exist.
Maybe the 'too harsh' crowd missed the parts where the little sociopaths mentioned breaking into her house and another future Ted Bundy talked repeatedly about STABBING HER.
Then afterward, when one of little maggot's father said, 'My son has already "suffered enough" because his face was now on YouTube'. -- my head almost exploded! It was no wonder to me where sonny boy got his attitude from. Daddy is a low-life cretin too.
So I hope these little brats enjoy their year in 'Juvy Jail School'. They'll meet REAL Bullies who would stab them for their lunch money, or shoot them for their shoes if they met on the street. They'll also see on day one what being tough is all really all about and Daddy won't be able to buy their way out of trouble, or have mommy there to wipe their bloody nose.
Back in my public school days in Chicago (50's & 60's) the 'Elementary Reform School' was called Montefiore. You also got sent there if you kept flunking and got to an age too old for Elementary School. And if you were white, it was almost like a death sentence (daily beat downs). Most became 100% truants and formally dropped out as soon as they could -- with a 7th Grade Education. I have one older loser cousin who was it, and he deserved it, in spades. (and I still don't like him)
Neither should the kids have to hear it or witness the abuse.
On some level **all** the children on the bus know that this venom could at any moment be directed at them and their lives could be made a living hell. These kids are trapped. They are abandoned to this Lord of the Flies environment by their parents, the teachers, and the administrators.
Geeze! Why are children expected to put up with a hostile working environment that would win an adult millions in court? The really kicker is when adults tell them it is good for them.
