Canada: Two teen girls take turns beating up younger school boy
Story here. Excerpt:
'MONTREAL - The two teenage girls who posted to Facebook a video of themselves pummelling a young man will face criminal charges.
The video of the attack in the Montreal suburb of Beloeil, Que. generated thousands of Facebook hits this week.
The video shows a girl walking up to the smaller boy behind a shopping mall.
She says: "You said that on the telephone?" to which the boy replies: "When did I say that?"
The girl shoves the boy, spits on him, pushes him to the ground and starts punching him while another girl, who is filming the attack, giggles and laughs.
The boy says "I didn't say anything" and gets up. The girl switches places with her female friend and keeps filming while the second girl punches the boy. The girls then switch places again.
The girl who films the beating can be heard telling her friend: "Bust him in the mouth! I want to see him bleeding."
The boy doesn't defend himself and begs the pair to stop.
...
"The teens were interviewed all day and were finally summoned to appear in the youth court," said Tremblay.
The girls were to be arraigned Friday for assault and instigation to commit a crime.
...
One of the defendants showed no remorse on her Facebook page.
"He deserved it, he called me a bitch. You don't know the whole story," read the post."'

Let's say the girl is telling the truth...
... would beating the kid up still have been the right way to handle it? If two older boys decide to beat up a younger girl after hearing her call one of them a bastard, or something else, would it be OK for them to beat her up? Would she "deserve it", as the girl is quoted as saying in this article?
Why doesn't the boy defend himself? Simple: He's been taught to be a 'good boy' and 'never hit a girl, not even in self-defense'. No wonder NCFM-LA is calling out Glendale on its offering of "free" (not really free; taxpayers have to pay for it) self-defense classes for women and girls only. Looks like our society (by 'our society' I mean North American and most if not all of the rest of the world) needs to teach boys to defend themselves yet even against girls when physically assaulted by them (*gasp*!)
