April 9, 2008 - Girl getting beat up on Youtube
On the Today show this morning, and mother was speaking out about an incident that occurred in Florida. Apparently some teenage girls and two boys invited a girl to a house, where they proceeded to confront her and assault her. These brilliant kids decided that they were going to tape the imprisonment and assault and post it on You Tube. Now the individuals involved are facing adult charges of kidnapping imprisonment and assault. You would think at this point, they would feel remorse, but you would be wrong. One girl even joked, "We'll get to spend our Spring Break in prison." Now sites like You Tube and others are coming under fire for allowing such videos to be posted, as it creates a forum for kids to do this. I agree that something should be done, and these girls should be found guilty. The video says it all! I actually sat my team down last night, and we talked about it. I hope that the young women on my teams understand that this is not acceptable behavior, and they should hold themselves to a higher standard.

I didnt get a chance to see that video, but I've heard all about it. Kids are unbelieveable now a days, I couldnt even imagine doing something like that when I was there age. Sure, there were occasional fights in school, that type of stuff can never be helped. But purposly setting something up like that! it is really scary.
