A 68-year-old bus monitor who gained national sympathy after being bullied by middle school students has been honored in Boston.
Karen Klein of Greece, got a sightseeing tour Thursday on an amphibious duck boat with her daughter and some local children. She was the guest of radio station WBMX-FM, to "Reverse the Experience."
Klein arrived in a stretch limo. She got a bouquet, was greeted by a youth cheerleading squad and escorted on a red carpet to receive an honorary Boston school bus monitor certificate.
Since a cell phone video of the June 18 bullying drew attention on YouTube, supporters have raised more than $500,000 for her. Earlier this week Klein appeared on NBC's "Today Show."
Klein said Thursday, "I've never had this much attention in my whole life."
