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

[reportertype]

Heart-wrenching yes, but I don't agree with them blaming myspace for this. The bullies are to blame - not the internet.

I agree.

People reports that Lindsay has moved back in with her father, stepmother and three siblings. The magazine says her mother is in prison, serving 10 years for a fatal stabbing.

Sadly it seems the thugs are getting younger...another taped fight appeared on the net yesterday. Greta said the girls are both 12, the article says they're between 12 and 14.

Victoria Lindsay.
From people magazine and Inside Edition.
Obviously, she is much prettier than the thugs who beat her.

 

[mollymalone]

What?? No way she said that. :banghead:
I swear, no wonder the thugs act like they do.
No marks on the wall!*!*!* hard to believe someone made such an ignorant statement.

Yes, she did. It was a walk through with the media through the grandma's house (her mother's home) where it took place. Her daughter's living with the grandma and I didn't hear where mama was living but I was under the impression it wasn't with them? Trying to justify the unjustifiable.

of course there weren't. listen to the audio on the video ... this woman's daughter (mercades) was too busy telling them not to hurt THE FURNITURE. so yeah she would have been upset if they left marks on the walls. plus they were too nervous about her nana finding out what they did. WHAT AN IDIOT !!!!!!!!!! :furious:

I read about his ripoff of his former partner long ago. One of the reason I cannot stand him. Giant ugh. Thanks a lot Oprah!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

Former boyfriend of Mercades Nichols had to get protection from her for dating violence.

She stabbed him with a pen three times?!!! Let me guess, her mommy said that was no big deal either. She should not have been bailed out. This makes me really mad at Dr Phil.

 

[golfmom]

Those are some very serious charges. This is one very disturbed young woman!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob Johns, 16, said in requesting the injunction that 17-year-old Nichols subjected him to violence and threats of violence several times after the couple's break-up in October.

In February, Nichols was arrested and charged with aggravated stalking and violating the injunction. The reason: She sent Johns text messages and enlisted Brittni Hardcastle to take Johns a Valentine's Day present to his home, according to a Polk County Sheriff's Office report.

Aggravated stalking is a third-degree felony.

JBean, is Christina's name on the PO because it's against her too?

eta: Who is George Wilson?

 

[SuziQ]

Lol, Jbean, we have the same question.

ETA: nevermind, Peggy Smith is Jacobs mom.

My question should have been who is Denise Johns? A sister, stepmom?

 

[philamena]

Yes, she did. It was a walk through with the media through the grandma's house (her mother's home) where it took place. Her daughter's living with the grandma and I didn't hear where mama was living but I was under the impression it wasn't with them? Trying to justify the unjustifiable.

Hey Molly,
That really blew my mind. You're right...she was trying to justify the unjustafiable.
