Earlier this week, a 10-minute mobile phone recording of Karen Klein being verbally taunted was posted on YouTube by one of the students on the bus.
By Thursday morning, it had been viewed over 1.5 million times.

It shows Mrs Klein trying to ignore the insults, swearing and threats being hurled at her from at least four year seven and year eight boys who had gathered around her bus seat.

At one point the relentless abuse makes her cry.
The teenagers taunt her for being "fat" and "sweaty", and ask her where she lives so they can come and damage her property.

One student says that if he stabbed her in the stomach the knife would go through like butter "because it's all ******* lard".

She told a local ABC affiliate news station that the most hurtful comment came when the bullies said her family should kill themselves.

Her oldest son committed suicide 10 years ago.

Support has poured in for her from across the country.
She said: "I've got these nice letters, emails, Facebook messages. It's like, wow, there's a whole world out there that I didn't know."

A fundraising website Indiegogo.com has raised more than $250,000 (£160,000) in donations from well-wishers who want to send Mrs Klein on a dream holiday.

School officials called police when they became aware of the video.
Police have questioned the students allegedly involved, but none have been charged yet. An investigation is ongoing.
