Copycat crimes are frustraiting. More so when they're of this nature...

Quote:
CLARKSVILLE, Indiana — A group of middle school girls videotaped the beating of a 12-year-old schoolmate and posted it on the Internet in an attack that authorities believe was inspired by a similar one in Florida, police said.

No charges have been filed and police said they have not yet interviewed all the girls, ages 12-14, who are students at Clarksville Middle School in Indiana. The girls' identities were not released because they are juveniles.

The victim, who was treated for cuts and bruises at a hospital, was the daughter of a police officer, said Police Chief Dwight Ingle.

Police said the girls lured the victim to a parking lot near a warehouse in the town just north of Louisville, Kentucky, on April 12 and beat her up. The violence was videotaped and later posted on the video-sharing Web site PhotoBucket, Ingle said. It has since been removed.

This is disgusting, infurigating and sad. Really makes you wonder what is wrong with peoples minds. It has long been known that humans are capeable of the worst things, which is sad. But there used to be some barriers.
How can one be so sick to copy something as terrible and disgusting as beating up a helpless victim? How brain-aborted must one be to think this is some kind of fashion or that it is cool. Yeah, very cool, makes me shudder.
The only thing speaking for them is their age though 12 to 14-year-olds should definetly know a lot better. It's awful. Morals are dead.
