Four Central Florida middle school students were arrested Monday for allegedly ripping off the clothes off classmates and then snapping photos with their cell phones, according to a Local 6 News report.
Investigators said the boys, ages 12, 13 and 14 years old, attacked the girls Friday at Tavares Middle School in Lake County, Fla., in the back of a school bus. The boys then allegedly groped the girls and took pictures of them.
Cell phone video allegedly showed one of the girls screaming for help while the boys touch her breasts, according to the report.
Police said the attack continued after the boys got off the bus when they pulled another girl by her hair. When she fell, detectives said they put their hands up her skirt.
Detectives said it is a crime that comes close to being rape, Local 6 reporter Jessica Sanchez reported.
"You forcibly hold someone down, you remove their clothing, you are fondling that person -- if these children had been adults, this is a crime, if convicted, they would be labeled sex offenders for the rest of their lives," Lake County sheriff's Sgt. Christie Mysinger said.
Police said two of the boys have confessed to taping the attacks with their cell phones, Local 6 News reported.
Also, police are looking at surveillance video from the school bus.
All of the boys face felony charges.
I -and millions of other people - have listened to that song and never raped or killed anyone.
Because no one with honor and dignity confronted the kid and literally beat the piss out of him.
Gentlemen won't tolerate the former but will pursue the latter.
I don't know what song you are talking about but I bet thousands of rapists and wannabe rapists have listened to it.
Sexual assault (or close to it) of young girls by a group of 12-14 year old boys on a school bus. No, this just would not have happened where I grew up. Even the "bad boys" in my class would have been shocked and disgusted by this behavior. I never saw an adult respond to something like this when I was a kid, and I don't know what they would have done.
I wonder if the other students on the bus tried to stop it.
My dad would have pinched my head off, spit down my throat and screwed my head back on cross threaded. Then I would have had to face mom.
Methinks you wouldnt be promised the land if you pulled something like this... ;)
Bloody wood sends a pretty clear message.
I don't know, it's a bit hard to dial when you're being roughed up by 4 bigger boys.
By the time I was 9 I could tell whether my dad was using the black or the brown belt just by feel. And neither felt good I can assure you.
lol...
Were the victims white?
I got the belt more than a few times myself. My grandfather had an old razor strop hanging on the wall behind his chair tha made a lot of noise when he smacked it on his hand. I never saw that old thing used but it was a great argument ender for mouthy kids.

Typical heartless conservative gun fanatic. Bustards are almost extinct, but do you care? No, you just want to SHOOT them.

My Grandpa had the razor strap. It was his dad's. Who says families these day lack traditions.
Let put it this way they say you need to talk often and long to your kids about drugs. My dad's anti drug speech lasted 15 seconds and he only had to give it once. "It I ever catch you doing drugs I will kill you!!!" I never touched anything I could not legally buy at a walgreens.
If I did something like that, I would have gotten an old fashion Irish ass kicking. If I saw something like that today, I would give an old fashion Irish ass kicking.
Well there is something to be said about the comforting "ring" the aluminum makes when it strikes home... : ) <<< me
