Lakeland, Florida (WTSP) – Lakeland, Florida - The Polk County Sheriff's office released the video of a teenage girl who, as Sheriff Grady Judd puts it, was "lured so her friends could beat her."

The video shows what Judd says is the second of five beatings the 16-year-old received from people she knew. The attackers say they were upset with so-called "trash talk" the victim posted on her MySpace page, and they say they wanted to post their own video of the beating on MySpace and YouTube.

Idiots. And one of the idiot's mother was on the Today show defending her daughter.......adult idiot.

At least they have evidence to the crime, and will be able to show how they laughed and had fun while beating her.
I have never had enough emotion to fight with someone more then I had too.
They beat her uncontious, then waited until she woke up and did it again.
Read the story, didn't watch the video.

I'm speechless

One more reason not to watch NBC News. How do you defend assault and battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment and felony conspiracy all caught on tape?

The news didn't defend anything the mother did, in fact Matt Lauer pretty much stated to her what you just did.

It's idiot parents like that who help to create monsters. To me, this is as abusive as a parent who berates a child - babies don't come into this world being hateful monsters - they are taught that it's ok by parents who not only look the other way but actually defend the behavior. The mother who appeared on that show should have her children taken from her.

Wow. That is really sad. I hope that they are punished severely for this criminal act!

The news didn't defend anyuthing the mother did, in fact Matt Lauer pretty much stated to her what you just did.

Exactly. Matt pretty much made the mom look like a doofus.

The mother claims that her daughter warned the victim before she entered the house and that her daughter is the one that gave the videotape to the police, though it should be noted that it is her daughter that police claim lured the victim to the house. I found a summary of what was said on the Today Show, it also has a link to the video. It was interesting to watch, and as others have said, Matt Lauer actually was pretty hard on the mother.

Aw c'mon guys. I type before I think all the time. Cut the poor guy some slack.

Oh gosh, I had to re-read my post. I wasn't picking on anyone; just wanted to shed some light on what really did take place on the show.

You have others?

It's times like this when I just have to shake my head and say:

Girl-rillas.

Kudos to Judge Joe Brown for the word, as I'd not heard it before he said it.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the "liberal, atheistic news media".

I think he was saying "the mother" ... not "the news".
I saw the show he was talking about, and the mother of one of the kids who video taped the attack, and who actually owned the house this happened in, did try to defend her daughter.

Which explains why her daughter is being charged as an adult for felony assault and felony kidnapping today. (At least that is what the sheriff is asking the people to charge them with.)

Actually, the mother doesn't own the house, it is her mother's house. Initial reports claim it is the grandmother that has custody of the daughter and not the mother, though on the Today Show the mother disputed that. The daughter lives at the grandmother's house and, though not stated, it appears the mother lives there as well.

Note to self -

Reconsider plan to video tape self robbing the neighbor.

"Tell her to come over, we'll put her in her place.
Then she realizes the plans of the others, she trys to warn the girl. "
Not saying this is what happened, but she could be a gullible bystander, thinking they would verbally attack her.

Ah,

Thank you for the correction.
