I was appalled.
I agree. If she did "step up" to those kids (especially with one filming) the headlines would have read "Bus Monitor Fired for B*tch Slapping Student on Bus". I would honestly be surprised if she had any authority to discipline as well. The hall and cafeteria monitors at my high school were quite the docile grandmothers themselves and were more there to keep the kids honest by their presence alone then opening cans of whoop-ass on them.

Considering that these kids probably aren't going to face any punishment with the school or police I'm actually quite pleased to hear about the general public giving these kids hell. This is a teachable moment not only for them but also their peers on bullying, effects of posting things online, etc.
