SUSPECTS iN ViDEO BEATiNG C0ULD GET LiFE iN PRiSON

Eight Florida Teenagers, six of them girls, will be tried as adults and could be sentenced to life in prison for their alleged roles in the videotaped beating of another teen. The suspects, who range in age 14 to 18, all face charges of kidnapping ,which is a first degree of felony. Everyone invovled in the case was under a gag order imposed by a judge. The video shows a brutal scene: The 16-year-old victim is punched, kneed and slapped by other girls. She huddles in the fetal position, or stands and screams at her attackers, but the assault continues. Authorities say the eight teens said they were retaliating for insults posted on the Internet by the attack victim. The idea of girls administering a vicious beating so they can post the video online may seem shocking, but it's becoming an increasingly common scenario, according to experts and news reports.

My opinion about this article is that the girls are really dumb to record a video with violence and putting it on you tube. Many people around the world are seeing videos on you tube and if they see this one many people might copy them or even do something worse.
