According to fox news:
LAKELAND, Fla. — Eight teenagers have been arrested on charges alleging they beat another teen in an "animalistic attack" so they could make a videotape to post on YouTube.
Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30 by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, authorities said.
One of the girls struck the 16-year-old victim on the head several times and then slammed her head into a wall, knocking her unconscious, according to an arrest report.
"It's absolutely an animalistic attack," Sheriff Grady Judd said Tuesday on NBC's "Today." "They lured her into the home for express purpose of filming the attack and posting it on the Internet."The sheriff's office said that after the attack, three of the teens forced the victim into a vehicle and drove her to another location, where she was told she would be given a worse beating if she contacted police.
All eight suspects were arrested April 2 and charged with battery and false imprisonment. The three teens who took Lindsay to the second location are also charged with felony kidnapping. Lindsay was treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, police said.
What is going on here? Has the world gone ,absolutely, mad? What are parents telling their kids these days? Is it too much medication? Thess kids ,today, have no concept of "ruin your life " , if you do that. No concept what so ever,these kids! I was talking to a guy, who is an expert witness for crime scenes. He told me a story of a 16 year old girl who told the police officer that the reason why she did not immediately informed them that she had witness a shooting was due to her belief that the young man would eventually get back up. When asked why she would think that? she responded, "they do in the movies". Unbelievable! Something is becoming seriously wrong with American kids and it appears,at least to me, that everyone including parents, schools and our government are all looking the other way.
I personally hope these girls get the maximum punishment. If being famous means this much to young people now and days , lets start giving them what they want . Let's film them going to prison for 5 to 10 years and then place that on "you tube". How about that?
