Student who reduced elderly bus monitor to tears with bullying in 2012 'forced a special-needs classmate to drink urine and post the video on Snapchat'

  • In a 2012 video, bus monitor and grandmother Karen Huff Klein, 68, wiped away tears as she was verbally abused by middle school students
  • One of the bullies has been accused this week of forcing a special needs student to drink urine at Greece Athena High School
  • Mrs Klein said: 'They didn’t learn any lessons from the other ordeal. I don’t think they ever will'

A high school student who allegedly forced a special-needs classmate to drink urine was also involved in the bullying of a bus monitor three years ago.  

In a 2012 video that was viewed millions of times online, grandmother Karen Huff Klein, 71, tried to ignore the boys calling her fat, ugly and poor but was seen wiping away her tears.

Now one of the students involved in this verbal attack has been accused, along with two others, of forcing a special-needs student to drink urine from a toilet while holding his crotch at Greece Athena High School in upstate New York. 

The bullying was videotaped and posted on Snapchat, WHEC reported.

When she was informed of the bullying incident, Mrs Klein told WHEC this week: 'They didn’t learn any lessons from the other ordeal. I don’t think they ever will.'

She also said of the alleged attack: 'Why did you [alleged bullies] do that, what possessed you to be so mean? 

'And now with this, it is really obscene what they did, and it's like it's progressing rather that regressing.'

Greece Athena High School was reportedly investigating the bullying internally after the Snapchat video was reported by other students. 

WHEC reported that the alleged attack could be a matter for family court but because the students were minors it would not reach criminal court.  

Daily Mail Online was awaiting comment on Friday from school officials. The students involved in the bullying have not been identified for privacy reasons. 

One student involved in the recent bullying had three years ago verbally attacked Mrs Klein when he was a 7th-grader.

The sickening video, which was uploaded to YouTube by a concerned third party, saw an outpouring of support for the elderly woman and she received donations of around $700,000. 

At one point, Mrs Klein turns to the teens and says with arms folded: ‘Unless you have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.' 

One of the kids responded: ‘Shut the f*** up,’ and then asked why there is water on her face. ‘Are you sweating?’ the student asked.

‘No, I’m crying,’ Mrs Klein said.

The video showed the teenagers getting more and more crude. At one point, a student said: ‘You’re so ugly, your kids should kill themselves.’

One of Mrs Klein's sons had committed suicide around a decade before, msnbc.com reported.

At the six-and-a-half minute mark, a student said: ‘If I stabbed you in the stomach, my knife would f***** go through like butter, because it’s all f***** lard.’

After the bullying was made public, the students responsible apologized to Mrs Klein.

She responded: 'I want (the kids) to make sure they never do this again to anybody. I would like them to be kept off the bus for a year, and be forbidden to play any sports, at least for a year.'

She added: 'They each try outdo the other. I don’t think they ever picked on the other kids… just me.'
