Eight “gifted and talented” students from the New York City public school system have just been arrested after this viral video showed them brutally beating and assaulting a student on a bus.
Here’s the video:

Here are links to two news article about this incident:

There were no names associated with that sentence. It said ‘10 teens who allegedly beat the child’.
This is a factual statement with a video to back it up. All of us can count and see a child being beat. There is a video of of teens beating a child.
This is the first sentence in the Daily Mail.
“Sickening footage captured the moment 10 middle schoolers viciously beat a fellow student on a New York City bus in broad daylight, before they claimed he deserved it because he was a ‘weirdo.’”
I appreciate this statement of fact. It is a fact.
The Gifted and Talented are doing homework.

Apparently this is a very good school that only takes 10% of the students who apply for it.
Now I’m worried
Don't get me wrong, if they're guilty then punish them to the full degree (which I doubt will happen in NYC, but that's another topic), but find them guilty first.
In the meantime the media has to cover themselves by saying "allegedly" just in case one or more of them turns out to be innocent. I have no love for the mainstream media, but I see their point on this.
