There's actually a thank-you campaign for the guy who started the retirement fund campaign. It has raised $4000 so far for the guy who started it.

600k already? Yesterday or the day before the donations hit the 500k mark.

Got to love the invisible hand.

Yeah I saw this and donated. It was great. There's also a list of email addresses on the link, which people can send angry emails to the school staff.

The school also put an apology up on their website.

IMO the guy should donate that money to charity, rather than keep it for himself

He said he wasn't aware, and I'm pretty sure he's going to donate it.

Yeah I agree! She was a bus monitor, only made 15,000 a year!

I think the original idea of raising 5000 for a vacation was a very good one but 600k is a little much IMO. If I were her I'd feel pretty bad taking all that money but what are you supposed to do? Can't turn it down, that's rude to the people who donated for you!

Either way I hope her faith in humanity is restored a little bit and I hope this was a good lesson for those kids to NEVER say those things to anyone and a lesson for other kids too and parents. Honestly if that was one of my kids I would be MORTIFIED.

I'm pretty sure people want her to retire as opposed to taking a vacation.

These kids have incurred the wrath of the internet... They have been swatted (phony phone calls to the local police stations claiming that there is a hostage situation in the kids' houses to force an armed confrontation between their families and police/swat), they have had their reputations permanently smeared (if you Google any of the kids' names you will find domain names registered in their names showcasing their horrid acts on that bus, on top of that several social media pages outlining their actions) and they have had a slew of phone calls, text messages, Facebook messages - probably hate mail in every form possible.

These kids have a lifetime of hell ahead of them... boy were they ever made examples of.
