Teen girls arrested for taped YouTube beating (video)
On Today's Program
Shock video
Teens in Polk County Florida were arrested after they plotted to make a popular YouTube video by luring a friend to a house where they forced her to stay while they beat on her----for 30 minutes. The police released a three minute version of the tape and it is very, very disturbing. The girls can be heard cheering on the assailant, and at one point someone yells out 'don't break the shelves'. Even more disturbing is the mom of one of the teen girls---who seems to be defending her daughter because the victim 'shouldn't be talking trash on Myspace'. Read Glenn's comments and watch a clip of the vicious beating here or Insiders can listen here.
