Alright anything less than Victoria getting to beat those losers down wont be good enough.Hopefully they'll all get some time and then the inmates can take care of the rest.The guys in this case well they deserve a little something special.After all they're a couple of tough guys.I mean you really have to be hard to stand outside so that some little girl does'nt get away.That tells me right there that the girls did'nt think they could handle her and that if anyone walked in they were going to get their ass beat.Oh and dont get me started on all the shit they were talking to her and the fact that not one of em and they guts to fight her straight up.Do you guys know that on of them still has her listed as a friend on her myspace?Now I'm a parent and have always taught my kids finish but dont start a fight but if they was one of those kids they would hope that they did'nt get out of jail because the ass beating they would get from me would be far worse than jail and before you morons that want to tell me that I should'nt strike my kids.Well your way is exactly why kids are doing the things they do and my kids are the proof.I just dont beat their ass and send them away they know why they got what they got

I am so sorry your daughter was put in that horrible situation. I am woman living in London who by chance heard of the news via the internet and saw, all in all, around 5 minutes of the beating. It was extremely difficult to watch, and words cannot describe how horrible I feel for such a mindless act.
Its not youtube, or myspace that is to blame. Sites like that are nothing but a tool. The stupid and callous teenagers that did this, would have done it anyway, I am sorry to say. I know one has to look for a reason, but really, mindless violence takes place all the time without any foresight. Regrettably, your daughter has been a victim.
I saw an interview with the mother of one of the guilty girls, and it is obvious that she is an ignorant woman that has no realistic idea of what justice is. How can she teach her daughter the value of life and freedom, when she herself has no notion of it?
I hope your daughter heals quickly, and even though I don't know her, my thoughts are with her.
I hope you all heal and that the american justice system does not let us down. These teenagers should, without a doubt, pay for what they have done.

Wishing you well,
Nicki
London, England

Greetings and many sympathies to your family.

I want to continue to support your message against bullying/cyber-bullying. I am the creator and facilitator for the ABLE Life Skills Program, which facilitates training for teens and their parents. Our training is designed to help teens become independent successful adults. One of the modules include bullying/cyber-bullying.


I am writing to request permission to show the video footage below relating to the Victoria Lindsay case.


The purpose of showing the video is to demonstrate the consequences and damages of bullying/cyber-bullying in classes presented through the ABLE Life Skills Program.

Our goal is to help students understand that bullying/cyber-bullying can lead to a negative outcome for all involved.

Your permission to use this video in the ABLE training would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,

Andrelyn
