Something like that doesn't just happen overnight. I believe there is more to this story than just the video, and perhaps Mrs. Klein was in over her head with a bus full of pre-teens. She may have been better suited for monitoring a bus of younger children...

I agree - now lets make sure it applies to both sides of the coin, eh? There are plenty of "weasels" in both parties.

You can't imagine what some of these kids go through. But the second they turn 18, the state washes its hands of them. Shameful. BTW - my foster son is now 26, and as much a part of my family as he ever was.

Too many parents jump in and protect their children from any punishment, insisting that they are not capable of any wrongs. Seems that way back in the days of the dinosaur, when I was a child, parents worked together to solve problems - now it seems the best defense is a good offense.

They simply did not anticipate the turnout, did not have the room, and as a result decided that turning people away was the best option.
