From the CBC: "You'll remember Karen Klein. She's the former bus monitor from New York State who was so infamously bullied by a group of boys on a school bus. The video of the incident was posted to YouTube and went viral. That video led a Toronto man to begin raising funds to give Ms. Klein a vacation. In the end, Max Sidorov raised over $700,000.
He handed Karen Klein a cheque today. We speak to them both tonight."

Posted: 9/12/12 at 3:53pmI admit, the amount of money still kinda stuns me (though it's nice that she apparently did get it all--I know there were some cynics who thought that Max was profiting from this financially), but I agree. The radio interview does talk about what happened tothe boys--it sounds like they can't return to the school period. Apparently one boy did send her a long letter of apology--the others didn't.
