over the past several weeks, a story has recently emerged about 8 Florida teens beating up a friend. With one teen filming the entire fight and then posting the video on popular websites like Myspace and YouTube. After these Florida teens were arrested, people started to wonder if websites like this were responsible for encourage teens to create videos for fame.
Also questions started to arouse about, why no one had flagged the view. Which would automatically send the video to YouTube to be screened by YouTube employees. Who could have taken the video off the website for good and notify authorities of such actions, at the time.
Now people are starting to wonder if middle school and high school teachers should now teach classes to kids, about how to intervene in situation earlier and quicker. While other people that this is just a natural occurrence, that people get into fights all the time.
