The video, showing four other seventh-grade boys cruelly taunting 68-year-old bus monitor
Karen Klein, was quickly uploaded to YouTube.
And the ripples began.
Millions of viewers from around the world watched her humiliation. There were cries of indignation and sympathy, retribution and recompense.
