I mean you don't want my kid to harass the elderly person that you don't arrest me. Not these parents have come out and say to that country for forgiveness and so sorry are raised a child likeness. Would you would expect 6172666868. The police chief -- and we can't lock them up why not. They committed a crime. Crying this -- the byline act they pushed this woman. They threaten this woman it's violent yesterday that police chief said not really we can do. That's a notable. You know -- Then have the school board president now we get another school board has been asked what do you do with these kids. Need heated teachable moment. I teachable moment are you serious with -- cliched line that means absolutely nothing. Six point 72666860. Won't be teachable moment. Well on the pull I want to check sign it's X 86897. -- as a teachable moment. Would be descended goon squad of youth hockey players who love their grandmother is on to the bus he I got hidden what do you think Mike your own John -- The captain Michelle and I thought you -- I tried this and I tool we probably wouldn't be writing about it. Second while. I would he'll sit down for you aren't as well let me write anything. -- be expelled from school and then when he got all -- open your parents came to tell you on the way home. You would be starting to receive. The beating of your -- -- Because. I mean that that would be none of this time I'll stop. You know that piece that that teach the children you know. You know -- the ticket time -- Do you think it's a problem my biggest problem here is the fact that you know I talked about Marsha who called in earlier about the Boston school buses her. Of the does the principal tries to keep these young kids. Accountable by writing them up and then the superintendent says why he had so many kids on the suspension list this looks terrible -- have -- -- have a talk about this. Because they don't everything about numbers and political correctness. -- school president there. Is in the first part of this woman to say we need to be teachable moment what does that even mean. I thought he needs to register some outraged the parents of these kids to stick -- up to the kids the kids themselves like what's the big deal. These don't see why people are so infuriated by the of India that. I have -- million dollars has been donated to this -- our grandmother of eight. The teachable moment OP when these children. Are walking to another school because they've been expelled from the school the. While I agree with you on that Mike thank you for the crop. I completely disagree with this tax or no victim no -- -- the trial without her testimony we can't afford to waste the time and resources. You talking about. We have a video. We have a video when it's not a waste of resource is a waste a resource is my tax dollars -- In this case the tax stars of the people in New York State who was spending needs little. -- leaps to school in the first place that's always attacks almost prosecuting them will send them a lesson perhaps. Deter some of his behavior what do you think -- -- connects with Michelle -- Imus show ultimate time though when your side -- per cent -- repeal of the so local. -- it but you know which -- of -- economics moment. And you met in the split should get a couple under the certificates forty expected a web master its cystic. They had that irritate if for a -- -- I don't mind Joseph you really think that little old death lady. Was it -- -- can set it up at these punks to take abuse to ten minutes and lending me she's crying. I'd have to raise half a million. The next one will be. Well I parent -- some of these things are going to be a subtle but that's the real. Well the second tragedy besides that some gonna separate -- up -- so much way to make money. It's hats -- so local side anyway I edited out there. You about that shows up I mean maybe but I -- I doubted there was something about the way this woman was treated and detect a victim that she was she could be anyone's grandma. And that's why so many of us felt so compelled. To respond in some way except apparently the police prosecutors in the school apartment. Hi Susan -- -- on the. I. I want to talk about the school -- monitor. I I'd bank it. I am at a lot of words to this -- But -- well under 50000. Dollars. Being raised dot Irvine. Not as -- and I learned that now Susan more than half a million. And that's outrageous. It's a load. I -- it but. That's right yeah and I can buy it might not -- I don't let it get electric to do it. And pretend that you want me out of it what. Of people. Could be actually logging on -- wanted money. Outrageous. It could be a million. Little charity and not talk about eight -- that. I'm not about little teeny charities. That -- -- a billion dollars within eight amp. And easily -- people -- -- 8 AM Bonnie. Or otherwise. I didn't do it -- -- I mean I said I saw the video. Are horrible effects you. I mean it was it weird if it was that would be honorable thing is that true. And me every time Susan has an abused dog on television. MS BCA gets jacks -- well ever happened nine I don't have a single problem. With this woman getting paid day. I mean. That's out there they're considering and nonsense that's all of her reality TV that you can you know that. You can win a million dollars at -- eat a million maggots. Yeah that's that's ridiculous that people could earn money that way but the -- had it all to have an outpouring of love and support. This 68 year old deaf woman. Yes she will be hearing EU. Do you she heard -- -- on Geffen when he -- who's in Europe Nina do you mean spirited person I'm afraid. Things doesn't mean spirited did not a problem with the fact that people was so infuriated by these awful children. That they. Don't and so she -- vacation good attorney and a half a million bucks. Not be dying try to set up -- website he just winds candidate Disney wants to go to Disney and a lot more. Does anyone else has a problem with. These donations on sonic -- we are AM succeeded. The -- am I I don't whine. He comes it comes. Definitely yet they find. It felt burned out I hope -- for laughable and. Couldn't hit -- the other thing. That's fine. But boy it's should be fine. Because that they. -- that this thing. That -- was caring kindness 68 year old grandmother with -- hearing aid was abused by thirteen year old -- -- school students. Who are not sorry while some of them -- not sorry what's the big deal said the kid who. Videotaped the abuse in and posted on YouTube Wittman where tens of millions of people now have washed. Absolutely positively appalling. That's a crying on the fact this Susan is now I hater so be hater. The American people and the Canadian people because the website was started by -- in Toronto. Felt so bad. But this woman. Did they have raised more than half a million dollars to -- vacation that's -- vacation. Real would you go 6172666868. Should this become a teachable moment that these kids which is but the school administrators that it needs to be a teachable moment. -- on next with my stomach feed Arnold Friday head neck. -- -- -- -- One is ladies and idiots that say about what charities and not -- in Miami in America he can give you my you know a lot. Can't believe me every day I see that my money being spent by people I didn't want to give it to. Travel via and but I like that they've written executive -- not a political. I'm going but. I'm a liberal -- -- that we let you know it has no evil in the world are rewarded and good every child is good. You know what it's able children that serial killers. They ought to be children that some sign is just you know they're in any school administrators and then everything whitewash that. It's just typical of you know that the people that broke them and you know that some like. Dangerous now because -- -- and we saw what happens with with kids like that's. Because there was a group of four teenagers in Mont Vernon New Hampshire. Who -- together and decided hey let's let's take out some people look I think at all was -- and someone. And then they randomly picked -- house how woman named Kimberly Cates was there with her young daughter her husband was away on business and -- Broking and in when you read the accounts of what happened in the house either high school kids and it will probably just as obnoxious as the kids who attacked a bus monitor. Something needs to be done to prevent. He diamonds from escalating kids. Frankly I've heard a lot of remorse. When yet parents saying leave us alone. -- -- been punished enough. What he had kids came what's the big deal I didn't think it was a big deal people are overreacting. Well. I mean it's a slippery slope especially when the school the same way and is gonna be teachable moment. Armenian and thank you nick -- be -- next with Michelle McPhee I Cappy. I -- out -- to take my. I'm teachable moment. I'd like -- he each -- a lot of them and at least two days that we does it. And trade down and appropriate more. Heat and the way they keep that ball well. And -- -- day when you got expelled didn't have to voted to like youth detention facility. At some -- I am. Compromise. That they had a month to get a shot. Get an update that -- feel like. I'm maybe it might be apology. Now it really mean it. I'm with you Kathy could mean an apology now look at somebody donated happened million dollars single indication where would you go. And -- be an island even though you -- an island -- beautiful -- you can't for the -- I I am honestly I have my sights on a nice Condo and all the time and Italy -- If anyone calls me -- means which happens every day but then -- -- -- half -- -- for -- credit -- -- -- Stephanie -- next hi Stephanie welcome. A teachable moment they need to be taught how to hey -- at all and turned around. -- -- They need to learn how to use a bus schedule. Big problem like why kids being expelled these days is it is still legal. -- I know I am out what the people thanking teachable moments to eat you know they or aren't they act. The pack the pack I seem to think it did a whole lot allies. On already at -- in -- so today and it now it out. That the problem. I mean that's all things Stephanie I mean that's a huge problem when the school is saying it's a teachable moment. You'll -- did the plan in the gonna have to write an essay about how mean -- to this bus monitor. The blast monitor is so sweet this related issues like I don't want anything bad happens and the kids. She and you're they would talent around an appeal when he Dorman a -- -- -- -- that human type you. Your son committed suicide they couldn't stand to be around do which is true. These kids -- so mean spirited in and think about this. She said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all I mean don't tell you everything you need to know about this woman. I'm usually not a couple times and I don't honestly I think containing. An end to order. I am all for corporal punishment because these kids don't it's -- everybody gets a trophy. That's why this kind all -- its guiding acne. It's great thing. Is so much for the college now you are next with Michelle McKee all right -- you know. I shot -- -- the fantastic. Art I can't like it then. -- -- if -- billion dollars and it will be brought sir I'm. It's just jealous and -- its position that this is what they called crowd responding ballots until apartment -- It's a 100000 people donated five box. But billion. It's an opinion on the Internet has brought about which incredible respect. The senior citizens are protected class in this country and what -- it it was actually -- under elder abuse and I was surprised they are charged with Barack. And the third thing it -- would be the company's international. -- Scared straight program. That's what they need everyone -- -- do these kids and Oprah is like you know jail apart -- -- that it how little it. But what will benefit from Italy trip so like Attica state prison ball that got scared straight program. I've seen -- other thing of all created tension up mice bite somebody guys. You know they -- interest these kids bases and being mentally just destroyed. And you know what those -- -- they really need -- beer garden of -- it would stop and I expect. Now you I had -- parents to instill that fear of god in us. Like you know a lot of my mother would have to do was glance at the wooden spoon bowl and as reverend. But he did you from the remarks we've heard from some of these parents. That's not the case which is exactly why they felt free enough to treat an older -- -- like this. -- I'll -- there's been no culture now where I'm sure you bought on any story on the newspaper. Comments section right. And look at it all went MySpace burst these kids to get cycle bullied to the white hang themselves. We've unleashed a society's. Ills. Like they can anonymously just destroy people and at what happened this young kids to get -- not -- economist at being bill. They're acting the -- -- -- do what Iraq FaceBook and they try to torture some its class it's becoming a bit like the pocket of some of these it is the. But it does -- vacation though -- there's absolutely no count righty what so ever whatsoever in any facet of life anymore. Accountability is on and I think that is the biggest problem. It's not like this. I'm thinking coddling of children. Like we can -- Today in which you are in. They show how everybody talks about -- but cost alana speculate at all -- -- that would actually I don't because all the parents. I really believe what I would have a coddled like hit well yet you know what's happening is expected that you all the generation. Know how to handle -- stop being like ill equipped to deal all the side of bell bullying a -- are starting an article on the -- -- I mean I ironic that could be something your parents say well I don't know. So I think that's probably been up to speed on how vicious little chipping into. While and that's the true big. The good business goals beyond that I mean I really believe that these kids could escalate from those mean words to a little old lady. To what happened in New Hampshire gallon that's the bigger issue kids becoming increasingly violent etc. that FaceBook account and -- to yesterday to a fourteen year olds. When I'm down I mean sorry about convicted of gunning down thirteen year old. -- the thirteen year old did he accidentally cut up one of the kids with a bicycle so they chased him down and shot him like a dog in the street Manila Dorchester. Gratefully the separate Connie DA's office got those kids convicted. And a -- Aren't average dropped haven't bought still got it up real quiet -- on autopilot you'll get some get you know it could be our. I don't think any law that would get back I wouldn't even get the thing I want to attack because. They'll let you chip in it -- -- delightful. But that's saying is visit I mean -- -- earlier this vicious and these kids had the potential for that and that's why did DHL is elder abuse it is a crime. There is proven this crime it exist. Millions and millions of people approve of this crime and they should be criminally charged let them go through the system. Let them see what they're ramifications for criminal behavior really aren't married are next with Michelle McPhee I marry. I sell all pleasant to -- much scarier and they've told me that this action is that it has tapped you don't wanna drive through I'm like how on the net. And I know this area -- somewhere in the outskirts of projects that on thinking that that probably. Other situation is like. These are very that I already have -- all right Mary that was simply I just gonna point out that kids that I -- on his video. We're primarily I mean I don't know what the socioeconomic background of the areas but -- these inner city youth. Yeah suburban kids. Yeah -- but like it's saying -- this section it I don't know about that but. But you know that you don't care about video from march to tell about them they wanna do and they gonna do it in the bottom. But that's the whole thing the parents reaction. They keep America the call -- -- -- -- other. Talking about well it's it's ironic that the people a sticker for the old lady now wanna harass my family why. How do you even invoking itself into this competition at all considering what kid did Chris we have that father. When -- with a minute to find that carry -- next with Michelle -- feed all right I had to. I'm -- -- think to take my call. On that it was really outrageous and it begins for the parents I don't I don't want to think that it it shouldn't be punished by punishing them. -- them responsibility. Which I don't think it in the new dictionary. -- the punishment can be if the prosecutors did the right thing and -- these kids up. The parent to gonna have to cough up the money for fancy like to lawyer to try to get these kids out of trouble. Apparently gonna have to shut the -- their kids to a courtroom and have a delayed in nickel back and forth with meetings in lawyers in parents. Really paid the price for the kids that they breezed right inconveniencing. Them by hitting him in the pocketbook in in the time that's where counts. Yeah but still I think any debate anymore because you know what I -- if -- -- tribal. When I was in school and I got on I begin flights -- much trouble I'd be more afraid of my parents and it would have been a teacher please -- Imus make. While plus I mean Sarah I remember I accidentally when I was a young driver pulled an illegal -- -- and I and I sites like the bicycle. In May remember that my father had a plea -- and I knew the cops came I knew -- as being way I was way are afraid of my father is. Mustang coming on the point and whether the cops trust me. I'm Michelle -- we are AM CT -- America out.
