Teens arrested after beating up a 16 yo to post on Youtube

Eight teenagers have been arrested in Lakeland, Fla., on charges that they allegedly beat another teen in an "animalistic attack" so they could make a videotape to post on YouTube.

Seven of the teens remained in juvenile detention Tuesday, authorities said. A boy who was charged as an adult has been released on bail.

Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30 by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, authorities said.

One of the girls struck the 16-year-old victim on the head several times and then slammed her head into a wall, knocking her unconscious, according to an arrest report.

Later, according to a clip of the video that was released by the Polk County sheriff's office, the teens can be seen blocking a door and hitting Victoria.

"When I saw my daughter in the emergency room, I didn't even recognize my own daughter," her father Patrick Lindsay, said a recent news conference in front of their Florida home. "I just walked in and held her. I didn't want her to see me weep."

"I've never seen anybody's face disfigured like that."

While the beatings took place more than a week ago, Patrick and Talisa Lindsay said their daughter remains scared for her life.

"She is having nightmares over it," said her mother, during a news conference outside their Florida home. "She has multiple bruises from it, from her head all the way down."

Her parents blamed the Internet for the incident.

"These Web sites are creating a space for criminal activity, beating, fights," Patrick Lindsay said. "MySpace, MTV's 'Jackass,' they are enticing our children and desensitizing out children. Now, if they create the best shock video, they are the heroes. They think it is top dollar."

They described their daughter as a popular, honor-roll student and varsity cheerleader, who was "very well liked."

"She didn't deserve to be beat down like a dog," her father said. "She thought she was going to die."

"Just the shock of it happening to you and seeing your daughter in a deformity, that was horrific," Talisa Lindsay said. "It's very emotional."

Rubbing his wife's back as she tried to gain her composure, Patrick Lindsay vowed to get justice for their daughter.

"I'm very upset with these Internet sites," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, MySpace is the anti-Christ for children. I'm going to carry this as far as I can.”

Sheriff Grady Judd told NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday that the incident was an "absolutely an animalistic attack."

"They lured her into the home for express purpose of filming the attack and posting it on the Internet," he said.

Christina Garcia, mother of one of the defendants, said her daughter had turned the tape over to police.

Apparently this was done when the 16 year old insulted one of the 8 girls on Myspace... People are getting more and more stupid every day. What did they think would happen when they post a video of eight people assaulting one person? Jeez...

I think this sort of draconian approach is going to stifle the next generation of budding film makers. One of those girls could have been the next Sofia Coppolla. Now we'll never know.

But talking **** about people on the net is so easy. I mean, you can say what you like and just sit behind your computer.

Simple rule, don't say anything you wouldn't happily say to someone's face.

Personally, as is normally the case with these things, everyone involved strikes me as being a step backward in human evolution.

Yeah, the Internetz are serious business!

Surely it's the 8 whacko kids who are to blame for this, as opposed to a vast network of computers all over the world...

Stolen for use in further arguments.

I hate these "The Internet ate my hamster" stories, this **** happened before myspace et al and will continue long after they are gone.

BlitzKrieg

it looks no different then any other teenage b*tch fight over something so so said.

Only difference is:

a) started on the internet

b) someone was stupid enough to film it and put it back on the internet

They described their daughter as a popular, honor-roll student and varsity cheerleader, who was "very well liked."

Yeah...and those stop kids from beating up other kids all the time.

We should send pizzas to all who were involved in this incident, including the victim, since their addresses were all released on the internets. That'll teach.

Exactly. Where were the pillows, and why weren't they in their underwear?

This girl was knocked unconscious and her face was badly battered as well.

Not exactly the right response to an insult tbh. They went way too far and I hope they get the max punishment allowed for what they did.

Does anyone have a video with the good part?
Plenty of action, a good thriller to watch!
