What's happening to our kids? Eight teenagers have been arrested after filming the beating of another teen and threatening to post the video on the Internet, sheriff's officials said.
Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30 by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Two girls confronted Lindsay when she walked in, yelling and threatening her, an arrest report showed. Another girl struck her in the head several times and then slammed her head into the bedroom wall, knocking her unconscious.
When she woke up, she was on the couch in the living room surrounded by the six girls. The teens blocked the door, held Lindsay down and began beating her, the report said. Two teenage boys waited outside the home as lookouts.
"That is animalistic behavior. It's pack mentality. They lured her there to beat her," Sheriff Grady Judd said.
All eight were charged last week with battery and false imprisonment, which are third-degree felonies, the report said.
"When we had them in custody at the station, they were laughing about it, saying, 'Well, I guess this spring break we won't go to the beach," Judd told The Early Show. "One of the suspects asked the detective, 'Am I going to get to go to cheerleading practice tomorrow?"
"They showed absolutely no remorse at all," Judd said.
As far as I'm concerned, MySpace is the anti-Christ for children."
Lindsay was taken to the hospital by ambulance and treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, the report said.
Lindsay's father, Patrick, said the teens' motivation for the attack was to produce a video that would become popular on YouTube, a video-sharing Web site.What's happening to our kids? Eight teenagers have been arrested after filming... more

Violent protests rocked northern Kosovo yesterday, with mobs chanting "Kosovo is ours!", and throwing stones, bottles and firecrackers at UN police. Families of diplomats and staff have been evacuated from the Serbian embassy in Belgrade, after rioters stormed the building and set it on fire on Thursday. The EU has warned that diplomatic relations could be seriously harmed, and the United States has accused the Serbian government of failure to protect its assets.
A top U.S. diplomat was asked during an interview if the Serbian government "gets" the warning they were issued last week.
"They'd better get it, because they have a fundamental responsibility to protect our diplomats and our embassy and to protect American citizens," said Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs R. Nicholas Burns. "What happened yesterday in Belgrade was absolutely reprehensible."Violent protests rocked northern Kosovo yesterday, with mobs chanting "Kosovo is... more

Kurds had rejected the old flag because of the three stars that were a symbol of Saddam Hussein's Baath party, and the writing in the middle stripe, was in Saddam's handwriting. On the new flag, the stars are removed and the handwriting has been replaced with an old arabic font. The words Allahu akbar, meaning God is great, are unchanged. The flag is a temporary one, to be used for a year while a new flag can be selected.
Unfortunately, the agreement in the Iraqi parliament did not do anything to change the violence on the ground in Iraq, as explosions and suicide bombings ripped across the northern part of the country.Kurds had rejected the old flag because of the three stars that were a symbol of... more
