The trend of teen violence being captured, viewed, and then spread on social networking sites continues. Recently, a couple of kids from Newark, Ohio were on camera taunting a 15-year-old girl who said she disliked a particular hip-hop group. The girl and her boyfriend were video taped as they walked to her house. In the video you can hear a classmate offering one of the other female students five dollars to punch the girl walking home. Eventually, the student does punch her.

The video was posted on MySpace and then on CNN’s iReport. A local newspaper reporter came a cross the video and contacted local authorities. County Prosecutor Ken Oswalt said the teenage student who punched the girl on camera is being charged as a juvenile Tuesday with individual counts of assault, menacing and unlawful restraint. He also added that they are looking into charging other people from the video for inciting the fight.

Video fights are popular on YouTube. For example, searching “teen fights” gives you a result of 17,000 videos. One video that made headlines was the brutal and deadly beating of teenage boy in Chicago. It was video taped and uploaded on YouTube.
