Teenagers Arrested for Battery of Disabled Girl

January 16th, 2008

Living in a nice neighborhood and going to a decent school obviously isn’t everything when it comes to instilling any sense of a moral structure in children. Two students of Newport Harbor High School attacked a disabled girl in Pinkley Park in Costa Mesa, California, videotaped the entire ghastly incident and then, proceeded to post the clip on their MySpace page.

This is wrong on so many levels it’s hard to know where to begin. Not only did the girls violently (police say there was a lot of kicking and punching) attack another girl (which in itself is wrong), they chose to pick on a disabled person who couldn’t defend herself. Then (and this is the part where you begin to shake your head in disbelief) they decided to boast of their triumph by sharing their feat with friends on their MySpace page. Some people were definitely lacking in parenting skills here.

Not much is known about the background of the incident, and whether the two girls, who have now been arrested on charges of battery and conspiracy to commit battery, knew the victim or had any kind of relationship with her prior to the attack.

For now, according to the Orange County Register, police aren’t revealing their identity because the girls are minors. This is almost a pity, because some sort of public humiliation could be the only thing that would seem to work in the light of the cold blooded and brutal way the entire plan was executed.

If you have been the victim of any type of abuse or attack, you need the help of an experienced California personal injury attorney. Contact a lawyer at The Reeves Law Group for a free consultation.

UPDATE:

According to the OC Register, there was a mistake in the police report, and the girl who was attacked was not mentally handicap as previously reported.
