Very sad - but the reason these kids do that? They don't get hit or hurt back.
Kids need boundaries, they need lessons that teach them where right and wrong lie — if they never encounter that, they never pull back from going too far.
Frankly, she should've given as good as she got. She's older than them and, presumably, much better atpulling apart their weaknesses, so she shoud've done that.
Failing that, a slap wouldn't've gone amiss.
It's her 'patience' that gives kids the impression that it's ok to do shit like that.

I stopped 4 late-teen urban kids from breaking a sapling tree last week - I was walking down the street when I saw them go at it. I instinctively shouted 'OY!' at them before realising that I was outnumbered and out weighted.
I stood my ground, didn't get hysterical, didn't swear or talk down to them or condescend them - I just asked them to consider what they were doing. Just got them to use their own brains, which kids do have despite general outward appearances, and I could see the glimmer of recognition.
The bigger of the kids looked down at the floor, said sorry and I said that's alright, thanks.
I'll not lie, there was as second or two where I wondered wtf I'd just gotten myself into - but by the end of it, I remembered "They're just kids".
I remember what I was like at that age - a total dick, but pretty much scared of adults... well, the vertebrate ones at least.

I teach middle school aged children, which is the age group of this little batch of cowards, every day - the consummate rule is that you have to remember who is the adult in the room. Sure there are days you look at them and wonder who the f*ck is raising them to be the way they are, but like the story from detritus: you stand your ground and appeal to the humanity inside of them. Never works right away, but slowly and surely it does make a difference.

I used to live in SF, and I saw some "urban" youths giving some poor old guy some shit, very similar to the video above. The man decided to speak up for himself, and I bet he wished he didn't as the teens proceeded to push him through the back doors, onto the ground, stomp on his back and run away. He was probably 75 years old.
