I think what we are seeing is a good example of poor parental upbringing. Some parents these days don't care nor take responsibility for the actions of their children. To see parents say my child is innocent and they should not be tried as an adult are missing what was done to this girl. Put the shoe on the other foot and you will feel the same as the parents of the victim.

 

When I was growing up my parents would tell me sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. These days some parents are not teaching their kids to turn the other cheek, walk away and never lay a hand on anyone unless they lay a hand on you. To see this poor girl get beat and never fight back is more disturbing than anything I’ve seen on the internet and news.

 

This was pre-meditated and wrong and all of these kids should pay and I hope that the judicial system sets an example that we are not going to let this happen and the parents should be equally responsible for not teaching their kids manners and how to treat people.

It used to be that if a kid broke a window, the parents paid for it. Not anymore! I say, raise a thug, go to jail. Once the kid turns 18, you are off the hook for their misdeeds.

You bet !!!! bad parenting. Fine those parents until it hurts. The parents have to be responsible for the actions of the kids that they brought into this world.

The rest of the people have to raise their own kids, they don't have time to raise yours too.

I bet you have been told over and over. Look at your child, look at what they are doing, but, you the parents just walks around a real air-head.

I agree! I think back to when I was a kid, you had consequences for your actions. I KNEW that if I did something bad I would have to answer to my parents... not that they would beat me, but I got my butt spanked a few times ... I was grounded for months not days and things were taken away from me that I cared dearly about (like my car - now it would be the computer and the car and the phone and everything else). Unfortunatly, we can't spank today or even threaten to do so without someone trying to through you in jail for some sort of abuse.... I think some of these kids today need a serious swat to the butt !!!... walking out in front of cars - just because they want to see if you would really hit them... smarting off at teachers... and then this beating.... OHHH I would have paid DEARLY for even getting in a fight at school... told many times if you get in a fight at school, you better be prepared for what you'll get at home.... so I chose to not get in a fight... I knew what that meant, they never had to do it, but I knew.

Parents are so much in denial that they can't see the truth simply because they don't want to see it. The children should be responsible for their actions and if it means jail time, their parent's should be required to sit in jail with them. Punish the parents for neglect and abuse because ignoring a child's actions and playing the denial game is neglectful and abusive.

I'm glad the kids went through the arrest process. Maybe their parents learned something. I have a hard time listening to the parent of the one boy... the lookout. Come on, man! Face your responsibility as a parent... your kid did something wrong. Spanking is out of the question... you might be arrested for child abuse... your son would turn you in.

I think the key here is the Principal. If you noticed, he was glad they were being tried as an adult. What that tells me, is there is a history of problems that he was unable to resolve with the kids AND their parents (obvious by their on camera responses).

Something tells me this isn't the first time they have gotten into trouble. Why would he say that then?

I can remember when I was a child growing up in the 60's. I was raised by a single Mom which back then was no easy task, but I knew if I misbehaved I was gonna get a spanking for whatever I did and not one time did I ever think I was abused for getting it. Maybe if these girls had been lucky enough to get a good old fashioned spanking when they did wrong as a child they wouldn't be vicious teens today. I think that somewhere the parents fell short of teaching these girls right from wrong and all those girls knew better. They just didn't care. All they were worried about was carrying out their so called justice because they thought they had been wronged. Where is the justice for the poor girl that has been beaten? I hope they each sit in jail for a while so they can think about what they did because I sure don't want them out here with the rest of us. We've seen how much compassion and common sense they have. NONE!! In jail is where they need to stay. Forever as far as I'm concerned. Next time they might kill somebody with those kind of tempers. They are disgusting things. I'm not even gonna call them human.
