Brutal muggings, sexual assaults. No, not the work of male thugs but a new breed of merciless groups of girls, intent on inflicting pain and misery on their helpless victims. If you thought the Switchblade Sisters or The Lizzies were trouble then look out for these kids, some as young as 10, who are seemingly fearless and take what they want.

  • " The girl's motive, according to the police, was to make her "look good" in front of her group; to gain "respect". "

    The above quote just about sums it up. Its unfortunate though and parents should be partially blamed for this!

  • What I would have liked to know is if the crime rates have been going up or down in Europe in the last 10 years.

    I know in America the crime rate has been decreasing. If Europe's crime rate has been doing the same I wonder if maybe these girls are filling a void.

  • Is it any wonder that the female of the species has become more violent? And the age of the youth involved is becoming younger and younger. These youths..both girl and boy have such anti social behaviors and have no respect for anyone outside of their gang.

  • Let me just say that as a child I was beaten with a belt at home and with a cane at school. One step out of line and your were getting it good. Corporal punishment ment not be in vogue today but it sure as hell worked for me. I am amazed by the way young people talk to their parents an elders these days. I grew up in Zimbabwe in the 80s and 90s so we were a little behind the western world in eliminating caning but it needs to make a comeback in a major way. If my kids step out of line, when I have some, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be giving them an ass whipping. Parents these days try to be their kids friends instead of their parents, they don't realize what a diservice they are doing. These kids grow up not knowing that their are consequences to their actions. I am old enough now that I can look back at all those beatings and laugh.

  • Observer, I think we should influence kids with our choices and our values, not our physical superiority. You allow corporal punishment, then you are assuming in every case the child is wrong and the adult is right? What if the adult just thought the kid needed a good beating cuz he was having a bad day. Violence has no place in a social system.

  • This is somewhat reminiscent of the song by Ciara, "Like a Boy." Not, of course, that I'm blaming her. If guys sometimes act like they're bullet-proof, then it only makes sence that girls do too.

  • 10? Are you kidding me?

    Do girls at the age of ten even
    think about that kind of thing?

  • Kids are crazy these days. Not to long ago I saw a story about a 13 year old female pimp selling girls from her middle school into prostitution and another story about a 10 year old run away girl who tried to rob a gas station.

    So yeah, some of the girls at that age do think about that kind of stuff... but why?

  • My favourite line in this article: "Such girls are known as "bitches"."

    It's like the news wants to sound ignorant, and old.

  • Going to have to start thinking twice before walking by a pack of 10 year old girls.

    It’s unfortunate that people turn to such a harsh lifestyle in an effort to fill any void they may have in their life.

  • This is a crazy story. It’s messed up and sad that little girls and boys are forming gangs. That’s not right, but at the same time I’m not scared. I’d like to see a mob of little kids take me on. I’d laugh my ass off as I spanked the evil out of each one with my belt.

  • *Sigh*. Every few years this 'story' comes up in the news. Girls acting like boys! Panic! Some girls have acted like boys and formed violent gangs since the beginning of time... deal with it. There are bigger priorities, no?

  • Welcome to the age of understanding! Where we "TALK" to our kids and treat them as adults even when they are not ready for it!!!!! CONGRADULATIONS SOCIETY - LETS SEE WHAT YOU"VE WON!!!!

    I think I can tell you what you've won. You've won a generation of kids who are devoid of the basic fundamental resources of guidance. Since almighty society seems to know what's best for our kids, they've systemactically taken the role of provider, authority, and leadership out of the home and turned it rampant in the street! What do you expect when you leave something out in the wilderness------it becomes the wilderness! It adaptes to its surrounding! Thats what survival is all about.

    I may have diluted this matter some and taken some of the human instinct out of it but the essence is still the same. We cant blame entirely the parenthood of today when their hands are tied, BUT you can blame a society that has taken the essence of raisng our very own kids out of our hands and tries to turn the tables on those same parents when something goes wrong....or when the youth do not act how we expect them to act without the guidance that WE were given as youth.

    I was raised in WAR-TORN DETROIT in the 60s-70s when Detroit was rampant with Gangs and violence never before witnessed even by todays standard. I was the oldest of 7 brothers and sisters and believe me when I say this........NOT ONE OF MY SIBLINGS HAVE SUBCOME TO DRUGS OR BEEN ARRESTED OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEING IN A GANG. Dont get me wrong!!! Oh we were tempted ....EVERYDAY! but we were MORE afraid of my father for what he would do to us than any gang on the street!

    Was it through fear?....YOU"RE DAMN RIGHT!! Do I regret the way I was raised?....... NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!! Do I still respect my father? (even at the age of 50)........(see response one). My parents did what was necessary for the safety and molding and nuturing of 7 kids they would die for. Why cant we do that for our kids today? Would you DIE for your kids?
    Then why cant you whoop them sometimes?

    Please!

    before its too late........

  • Yeaaa....I'm not surprised. I also think it's total bull when people start with the "kids these days" lines. The only real difference with the "kids these days" is the coverage they get. Everyone knows that a bad situation at home plus a toxic environment outside the home likely equals screwed up kids.

  • Kurka, firstly corporal punishment is not used just willy nilly as you suggest, I have never met a person of authority who beat a child just because they had a bad day. Secondly corporal punishment is more about teaching respect for rules and values, if you do something wrong you get punished. I think this article shows what happens when children have no respect for rules. It seems your problem with corporal punishment lies more with you fear of it's abuse, that's like saying we should abandon the police system because sometimes police go overboard, or we should abandon the prison system because sometimes an innocent person goes to jail. No system is perfect and there will sometimes be those who abuse their position of power but in my experience this is not the norm but the exception. If you think telling these violent children to go sit in a corner is going to help the current state of affairs then you are incredibly naive. A spanking is not the worst thing in the world, a few minutes of pain in exchange for important life lessons.

  • Oh wow corporal punishment is not abuse. Hey it might have been in your situation but that doesn’t mean it true for every child. I was spanked as a child, I was by no means “beat.” Hell I was a horrible child. I did some truly evil things for my own personal enjoyment.

    I remember one time I got in trouble at school and my principle called my dad. When I came home I knew I was going to get grounded so I decided to grab a flat shovel and hide in my tree fort. When my dad came home he of course went looking for me, and found me hiding up in my fort. When I told him I wasn’t coming down he climbed up to get me and BAM! I clobbered him right on the top of the head and laughed at him as he fell. Oh good times.

    Anyways as mad as he was and as sore as his head and ass must have been he didn’t beat the crap out of me. He instead waited for me to get bored and relax my guard. When I came down I got spanked and grounded and I learned my lesson. I actually felt bad about it while I sat in my room with nothing to do. Not only did I learn that you gotta own up to your mistakes I realized that if you don’t you can hurt the ones you love.

    I’m sorry if you were abused as a kid and I can in some ways respect your opinion about corporal punishment. However sometimes such things can be a benefit to not only the child but to society. I needed to learn a lesson and my dad gave my ass and brain a good one. When you combine the two it can do wonders, trust me.

  • very true Ricky84, I don't see corporal punishment and as you said "when you combine the two [ass and brain] it can do wonders"

  • Shoobeedoo, the reason why those little girls are so badly behaved is not because they have received corporal punishment as you seem to suggest. Rather the blame should be placed on people like you who have not given children any guidance whatsoever.

    To be honest I think a little fear in a child is a good thing, they should be afraid to do something like push an old lady into traffic, they should be afraid to beat rob and steal. I am perfectly fine with children fearing the consequences of actions they know are wrong. I bet when you are the victim of one of these child gangs you'll be wishing someone had taken the time to instill a little fear of hurting other people into them. I have never seen so many people so afraid of a little spanking, you would think I was advocating torture.

  • it's 11:48 pm, do you know where your daughter is? why are parents in the dark about thier children's activities? if you dont look out for your kid who the hell will. my sister and i were snatched less then 300 ft from our front door 22 years ago. i was dropped after kicking the old hag that grabbed us. we never found my 6 yr old sister. my parents divorced over it because my father couldnt forgive my mom for letting out of her sight for even a moment. the world is not the safe place kids see it as, sexual preditors, murders, and other random nuts roam around looking for an easy target. young girls no matter how tough they think they are will never be safe on the streets. when all else fails there is always boot camp.
