GUILTY FL - Five teens for video beating of 16yo girl, Highland City, 2008

[tempusfugit]

Holy crap! I cannot believe Dr. Phil jumped into this. And I don't believe it was just a staff member that bailed the girl out. That was too much money changing hands for him not to have known about it. :furious:

I feel the same way, I don't believe for a minute he wasn't aware of what was going on! He's only concerned with his ratings, I have never really cared for Dr. Phil, this just reaffirms that he's as big of phony as I thought!

Maybe I got lost in the shuffle or does anyone know the myspace page for Mercedes? Thanks!

OK everyone, I sent the information off to Sheriff Judd. If anyone else wants to write, you can find the email address at this link:

TopGunner, were you able to save her myspace page offline before it got taken down? Hopefully the judge will give these kids the max! They show no remorse; and the mother of that one is just .. if the parents can't punish them or teach them morals, then it's up to the justice system to do so.

I agree with you, & I hope the justice system is going to be teaching them all for a long time! I really don't think parents & little thugs realize that Victoria could have died during the beating! :furious:

Fantastic! That girl is dangerous beyond anything we've witnessed so far and needs to be locked up. Her attitude in spite of facing life in prison sent me over the edge. And Dr. Phil did nothing more than boost this girls confidence that didn't need boosting. I can't imagine that LE feels the same way.

I believe there was a fake myspace page made for her as well. I do not have the URL for it, but I will try and find it. It had the picture of them in their mug shots on it. I think it is the one you all are referring to about doing it again. I saw it and got really mad and was going to report it and then looked at it some more and am almost 100% sure it is fake.

No MeoW, I never had the actual MySpace page to begin with. Just the article and link I posted here, which I did zipp over to the sheriff's email. I WISH I had access to her page.

Btw...I am friends w/a lot of parents here in my town from our kids being together 12+ years. The way this would be going down here is the parents, such as myself, would BEG our kids to let us into her myspace page. Once there, we'd cut and paste and send.

I know our kids would let us do it too.

I'm hoping this is exactly what's happening in Polk Cnty.

LOL, I was wondering if it was tampered with myself SC. Let's hope it was, but no matter....if they're aware that every single move they make, real or fake, is being reported, maybe they'll "behave" until they go to prison.:woohoo:

We have exclusivity -- WTF does that mean?!? Check out video of Dr. Phil's so-called "producer," shot by FOX in Tampa, as one of the teens charged with allegedly videotaping a brutal beating was released from jail.

These girls seem to think everything is one big joke. They don't even take being in the courtroom seriously. They need to get the book thrown at them as an example for the very least. I hope they get a kidnapping/assault/terrorizing charge as that should bring them a lot of time.

SuziQ, that man escorting them in the video appears to be trying to ward off other reporters that aren't Dr Phil's as only Dr. Phil has the "exclusivity" of the interview with them. How disgusting, these people making a media circus out of these little sociopaths who dang near killed a girl.

By the way, when I said that I hoped his show gets cancelled, I meant his SHOW not this one episode. His time has to be up soon. Please?!

I agree, TM, I can't stand that guy. Never watched his show but I am an avid National Enquirer reader (yeah, I know, I know, I'm a tabloid rat!) and everything that I have ever read about him makes me sick. The whole Brittany fiasco, etc. But now this! What in the world could that idiot be thinking?!? Or not thinking as the case may be. :furious: :furious: :furious:

I believe that Dr. Phil knew what was going on. I don't understand how anyone could have thought this was a good idea. How can people who make so much money for what they do fail to see the implications of this?

 

[CarpeDiem]

I've been a supporter of Dr. Phil because I do think his show is good, and he gives practical, common sense advice, and a perspective many wouldn't otherwise get. But, I can't support what he did here. I can't believe he didn't give the final go ahead on bailing her out. It's slimy and wrong.

I just went through all her pictures. Kind of sad..regular family and friend shots. She really screwed up her life and all the people she touches.

JBean, I've been to her myspace page, but can't find her picts. Where did you find them? Did you see her mood is set to "numb"?

yes I see she is numb. I just click on her profile picture and it takes you into her pictures. There are over 100 of them. I am now going through her friends profiles trying to see what I can find out.

I bet alot of sociopaths feel numb. They are incapable of real emotions or empathy.

Oh, thank you. I went through some of the friends profiles, most were set on private.
