...as revenge for a posting something on her own "my space". The story has been sworling around the country ever since this morning's NBC's Today show... Teens videotape revenge beating - TODAY: People - MSNBC.com

A cheerleader and her friends beat up a fellow student after seeing an alleged 'trash talking' MySpace post and they video the beating.

A cheerleader and her friends in Lakeland, Florida beat up a fellow student after seeing an alleged 'trash talking' MySpace post.

The Polk County Sheriff's office have released the video of the teenager being beaten. According to Sheriff Grady Judd, the 16 year-old teen was beat unconscious in a bedroom and then later awoke on a couch in the living room to more beating and screaming. The fight happened on March 30th at 6124 West Calendar Court in Lakeland.

Reportedly, the cheerleaders were upset with the young girl after she posted alleged trash talking on her MySpace page, so they took it upon themselves to make a video beating her to place on MySpace and YouTube which is stated to be one of five beatings given to her. According to the victim's mother it was someone else who posted the message and they were made aware that someone had hacked into her MySpace account.

"It is disgusting that the attackers find it funny and want to post something on the Internet showing someone nearly beaten to death," stated the victim's mother.

Sheriff Judd called it one of the most disturbing videos he has seen in a long time and he hopes all those arrested will be tried as adults. The teens face charges ranging from felony battery, false imprisonment to kidnapping. The sheriff says the attackers "were relentless".

Judd says the teens showed no remorse after their arrests.

"When they were in a holding cell, they were all laughing," Judd stated. "One of the teens arrested, who is a cheerleader, asked, 'Does this mean I'm going to miss cheerleading practice tomorrow?' The others were cutting up and said, 'It looks like we won't be going to the beach this weekend.'"

During a statement Sheriff Judd commented on the tape in which the girl holding the camera stated, "There's only 17 seconds left. Make it good."

"That is animalistic behavior. It's pack mentality. They lured her there to beat her," added Sheriff Judd.

The mother of one of the arrested girls doesnt seem like a genius either. Words do not need to result in a beat down by a group of attackers. And for this mother to say "the victim deserved part of the blame" is rediculous.

I hope they get tried as adults and punished rightfully. The girl they beat wasn't the one who made the "trash talk" video...

This is what happens when parents don't physically dicipline thier children. Why is it that the second hitting your kids became so deplorable, the children out there turned into these type of people. To me it looks like there is an entire generation is in need of a serious *** kicking.

I'm going to see how this plays out before I comment on this one...

This is a parenting problem. And after that interview with the mother, I have no doubt it is a parenting problem.

jlej731 · 04-08-2008, 02:02 PM

wow that is awful. i cant believe stuff like that happens

cyinthesky · 04-08-2008, 02:03 PM

This whole story has the country in an uproar! I too hope those kids get tried as adults.
Funny thing is... whether these girls do any real time or not, there are going to be other people "waiting for them" on both sides of the fence. I think this story is far from over.

That's disgusting.

People are idiots. Nuff said.

At the end she's interviewed by Matt Lauer and it seems she's not defending her daughter but trying to point out that her daughter tried to warn the victim and didn't take part in any of the beatings. She also stated that in a previous interview they took her words and used them in a different context than what she actually meant, which is the clip you saw in the very beginning.

Girls can be very vicious. The hazing videos I've seen in the past were amazing. Girl fights in high school were more brutal and vicious than guy fights in high school. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Well she probably has to watch how she says things. Lawsuit, lawsuit, lawsuit. Gang mentality makes no sense to me. Why does it take 5 people to beat one skinny little girl. If you have a beef with someone, settle it yourself or move on.

I wonder what was posted on myspace? I'm sure it was something really stupid like "That dress made her look really fat."

What has happened to our youth. When they now use Myspace pages to rip on people in their school, its pathetic. I feel like Im acting like my parents now, but still stuff seemed more controllable when I was in school. There were fights and petty arguments, but to the degree kids take it to today its scary.
