This problem is getting worse every day. What is wrong with someone who could do what they dud. Their names should be made public as these are adult charges. We have to start publishing the young offenders. There has to be consequences. The schools don’t or can’t do anything about these assaults and bullying
I don’t believe this kind of behavior has anything to do with mental health. In my opinion, it has to do with the parents and just letting their children go out and do as they please. If my children had ever done anything like this, their a** would have been grass and I would have been the lawn mower. I raised my children to respect everyone. If they got out of line, they got a spanking and was grounded. That is what is wrong with these children today. They need a good spanking and taught some manners and respect. Some parents act as though they are scared of their children. My children are in their thirties and I will never be afraid of them. I love my children, but I will not let them disrespect me. Parents need to take control of their children. Don’t let them control you.
The Investigators are incorrect , this is not an isolated incident, This has been reported and happening at Huntsville High School for a period of time with no consequences, Unfortunately this has escalated now to this level, Seriously wishing the victim the best in regards to the situation and hope she will be okay,
There is a serious problem at the Huntsville high school…there are fights there every day… my boys have been in some of them…but ultimately the high school staff are to buisy to supervise the school property so they say .. to me they are to lazy or just don’t care about the safety of all the kids going there… if they were keeping a thumb on the kids roaming around half this crap would not happen…maybe go down to the non smoking area and kick some kids out of their that are not of age and on school property.. but no let’s complain that kids are skipping fighting you name it but no one wants to step up and take control…. To buisy to care …. The main problem is that kind of thinking…well it’s not my job or to buisy… give me a break
These girls have caused multiple assaults on a lot of people .. they should not be released and should be charged and treated as Adults.. they clearly need to be educated on their behaviour.. they are a threat to society.
Someone get them some mental health before a life is lost.
