Well, there may be hope for the youth of American yet!! I was watching Channel 2 news this morning and I saw just about the worst thing I could have see. An elderly woman who was acting as a monitor on a school bus, and she was being picked on, in a word, 'BULLIED'. Can you believe this....BULLYING A SENIOR CITIZEN WHOSE WORKING ON THE SCHOOL BUS, by no less than the students riding the bus!!!! Calling her fat, do you thing you should even touch her, look at how she jiggles and all sorts of other hurtful things as well. The woman is overweight of which I am too and I have also been made fun of, but not by little brats not yet out of their diapers apparently. Then on top of everything else one of them records it on their cell phone and get this, POSTS IT ON FACEBOOK of all places. Well the little snots had their lunches fed to them because not only did it go viral but it came back and bit them in their collective little Gluteus Maximus!!! Who came to the aid of poor viral Granny?????? Would you believe kids!!! The self same kids that these little would be popular kids at school were trying to empress with their skills on the cell phone fired back at them for being, in the words of the kids themselves, "just so vile", and "I had to stop watching or I would throw up."
The woman who was only doing the right thing, by being there in case something happened to a child and serve as a witness was in need herself of a witness and has not only gotten an entire nation it would appear but also the respect and concern of kids in a few countries outside of the United States.
The father of the young person who had taken the video and posted it could not believe what his child had done. Well Dad I will say this. You can only try and teach them the right things to do. Once they get out into the real world, and with the advent of the cell phone and U tube, the real world unfortunately has now become your own living room it becomes a real struggle between black and white, right and wrong, good and bad. In one way it is a good thing because now you can see your child at work in the real word and write lessons accordingly. I will say, if that had been my child, not only would he not have access to any computer, cell phone, TV, or windup radio for an entire year, but I would have him spend the next two spring breaks, summer breaks, and winter break for the exception of Christmas day helping same said Granny get things done around the house and the yard with supervision. Help with her grand kids and what ever else I could find for this little born again trouble maker to do and after the two years were up he would be not only limited on his cell phone use, but I would do my best to find one without a camera. Oh and I'd make sure that that cell phone could not connect to the Internet or even IM anyone!!
The report tonight is that this flew and I mean flew to an international site here they have raised 96,000.00 for Viral Granny to take a much needed treat herself vacation.
