Sick, cowardly, unbelievable.......

What is wrong with these people?

I hope all 8 are prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to the harshest lawful sentence possible.

Wht if this was your daughter getting beat ?

I am currently teaching my daughter not to put personal information on public websites. I'm also trying to teach her not to be friends with psychotic people.

I am currently teaching my daughter how to kick some AZZ!!
No, I'm not, but I will. That is the most degrading thing I have seen in a long time. How could they? How do people act in such a manner? Obviously they have no conscience.
no worry whether they will get in trouble or how they could hurt someone like that. What has gotten into these kids? This is bad, very very bad.

I would be so mad and embarassed if my child had participated or just stood by and did nothing to help.

Good thing we are cleansing society of all those traditional values .

I suppose someone will champion Youtube's right to have this posted on their sight uncensored . But what is this if not providing a venue for criminal activity?
I'm not calling for a boycott or anything like that except I will suggest that they should examine their policies . They provide a useful service do they really want to be the venue of choice for cyber and real criminal bullies ?

oops meant myspace but my comments apply to both sites.

You know, girls and boys in middle school and highschool can be so cruel.

It happened to me, but I didn't get beaten up, just emotioanlly abused.

I agree Tom, but it would be better if we could get some justice for this. We can go back to blaming the sites, but that is not the REAL problem in my eyes. The people using the site irresponsibly and unjustly, they need to be held fully accountable. YouTube could do a better job "looking out" or Myspace could too, but why do we always blame the gun and not the shooter??

true but look at how administration monitors this site for comparison. Youtube and myspace provided the forum .

I agree, they need to be much more attentive. I also think that PARENTS if they allow their kids to have a myspace need to be more attentive to what is being posted, do daily and hourly checks depending how often their children log in.

I just know that each of those kids involved should be charged and it should go all the way!

I'm sure if it wasn't myspace and youtube, it would have been facebook and break...unless you want to get rid of the internet altogether, just regulating a few sites more closely won't help.
