FULL TITLE: Bragging attacker posted horrifying video on Facebook of girl, 16, being brutally beaten on school bus
An honor roll student in Pasco County, Florida was viciously attacked on the school bus by a fellow student who then posted a video of the sickening incident on Facebook and bragged about it.
Chase Cristia, 16, says she was attacked on Friday afternoon after sticking up for a friend earlier that day.
During the brief but brutal beating an unnamed 17-year old girl approached Chase at the back of the bus, grabbed her and then repeatedly punched her in the back of the head and neck at least 10 times.

All the while, the attacker’s 16-year-old accomplice recorded the beating with her cell phone. All three girls attend Mitchell High School.
‘I just kind of ducked down and thought I can't do anything about it because I don't want to get into trouble, and I don't want that to affect the way people think of me,’ said Chase, who was treated in hospital for bruises.
Tracy Cristia, Chase’s mother is unhappy that no one else on the bus – especially the driver - was prepared to step in and protect her daughter.
When she collected her daughter from the bus, Chase was in tears and so she confronted the driver who protested that the fight was over before he could pull his bus over. According to the school district, their driver followed the correct protocol.
Tracy Cristia then called 911 to press charges against the attacker.
According to Pasco County deputies, the driver didn't fill out the paper work to report the fight until Monday and then the two girls were arrested and charged the following day.

All I can say is ‘wow’. I’ve never seen anything that bad. I was in a few fights as a kid but never lost any hair.
One girl had 2, maybe 3, actual bald patches ..... still a vivid memory for me many decades later. One of the girls rode my bus - I was almost afraid to breathe around her after that.
“FIGHTING BULLIES! Featuring Scut Farkus”
A Christmas Story is my all-time favorite Christmas movie, and every time I watch the scene where Ralphie beats the snot out of Scut Farkus, my first thought is that Ralphie would be suspended from school if he did that today.
Much mischief happens on the bus. Even in my day, riding the school bus could be risky business. One way to get around this is for parents to drop their kids off at school. Many parents do this to shield their kids from this sort of violence and worse. All parents should equip their kids with the means to protect themselves. I would suggest something like Krav Maga, or something more defensive like jujutsu if your morals so dictate.
And we learn of this stuff from the UK press, which is quite common.
Agreed. I've told my kids if they start it, they are the ones in trouble. If they are not the instigators, then have at it. If they're suspended, I'll take 'em to the zoo to see how civil animals live.
Parents sending their children to public school are committing child abuse. I thought to ameliorate that by adding “by neglect” but these days parents are aware of the alternatives and can homeschool if they have sufficient wit to care. Those that say “well we’re too busy with our work/business/social lives, etc, to do that” are showing where their priorities lie and they shove their children pretty far down the list.
I thank God in Heaven I was not born today. I grieve for those who are.
