.@AC360: Bullied Bus Monitor- Karen Klein ” I Knew They Were Getting Off Soon & That Was Making Me Happy”

Tonight on Anderson Cooper 360°, Anderson spoke with Karen Klein, the 68-year-old bus monitor who was bullied relentlessly by students. A video recorded by one of the students, shows Klein visibly shaken as she is bombarded with profane language, insults and threats.

Two students issued apology statements to CNN, which Anderson read to Klein tonight. A student by the name of Josh wrote: “I am so sorry for the way I treated you. When I saw the video I was disgusted and could not believe I did that.” And a student by the name of Wesley said, “I feel really bad about what I did. I wish I had never done those things. If that had happened to someone in my family, like my mother or grandmother, I would be really mad at the people who did that to them.”
Anderson also notified her that Southwest Airlines reached out to CNN and has offered to send her and nine friends on an all-expense-paid trip to Disneyland.
