Bullied bus monitor retiring

Posted: Updated:

Her story spurred an outpouring of support. Now, a New York school bus monitor bullied by a group of boys says she's retiring.

Karen Klein has held the job for three years, but says it's time to move on.

In June,  four seventh-graders taunted her with profanity, insults and threats on the bus,  but Klein says that's not why she's quitting.

 A ten minute video of the incident went viral online,  leading people all over the world to donate more than $700,000 to Klein.
