Update: Polk County Eight *Dr. Phil bails out Mercedes Nichols; only 2 of the teens still in jail*

                     pictures from the court hearing

So much has been said about this case, but to me, the worst came from a parent of an accused:

Eighteen-year-old Stephen Schumaker’s father turned his anger to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who decided to release the video and is now under a gag order by the court.

“Grady Judd, our great sheriff, he made a mountain out of a molehill with all these trumped up charges for these kids,” he said.

 

This parent is in denial of what happened to the victim. He probably believes she deserved the permanent, lifelong damages that happened to her. But if his child was hurt this way, boy would it be a different story! And now, Dr. Phil has thrown himself into this. It will only get worse from here.

Florida teen girls beat up friend in hopes of views on Youtube

Teenage girl viciously attacked by “friends” who filmed it for YouTube (and apparently for evidence!); 6 girls and 2 boys charged in the assault

I do not understand teenagers these days and their need for violence amongst each other. It is bad enough that so many kill each other, but now they are beating up each other, needlessly and viciously just for a YouTube video. C’mon people! What has happened to morals and values? Are parents forgetting to instill these in their children now? These 6 girls lured the victim to the house and then beat the crap out of her. And for what? For teenage silliness. They say she posted stuff about them on MySpace. SO WHAT! Grow up. Beating her up so viciously that she cannot see properly out of one eye, can’t hear out of one hear and was unconscious. She also suffered a concussion and may be blind in one eye. I sure hope that the parents of these teens actually do something about it rather than blame the victim or say that their child could never do this. Just watch the video. Every single one of these girls were involved. They cannot pretend that they did not know or understand what was going on. I would be so ashamed to be one of their parents right now. And ashamed of my parenting skills and my relationship with my child if it were my child. This is not funny, nor is it entertainment. And each one of these teens needs to be punished, to the severest punishment allowed for this crime. I believe they will be tried as adults (the Sheriff’s Office has stated that is what they want to do, thank goodness!). Hopefully, justice will be served for Victoria. She did not deserve this.
