Teen Beating Caught on Cell Phone Video
Some people are disputing the level of animosity that girls have with each other. But the way that this fight went down really shows the hatred that these girls have for one another. When is it ever justified for 5 girls to beat up on one girl. Seriously. When? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

It’s never justified and shouldn’t be the subject of camera phones. There’s so much teen violence out there.

Yasmin, it is NEVER ok for a beating like this to take place. As a waoman, as a mother, as a human…I am thoroughly disgusted by this. Thank God the tape was found and justice is being sought.

This is so horrible. I, because of my own child being bullied have watched countless fights on youtube and I have to say this is one of the worst ever. We must do something as a nation to stop the violence that seems to get worse in each and every generation. The thug mentality absolutely must be stopped. We must try to save our children.

ive never seen anything like this- just heard stuff. it disgusts me that people can be this cruel. now i dont believe in eye-for-an-eye but i hope these girls get what they deserve- a good few years in prison. where do they learn it? do they feel remorse? do they feel at all?
