How many of these creeps watching took pics on their cell phones? Have they been arrested for possession of child pornography or dissemination of child pornography. This is at least a good carrot to use if the DA needs their testimony against the other perps. Does CA have an Inciting law? That's what the crowd was doing. It was not just watching or they would not have attracted more attention.
I think the people that knew something was going on but did not help this child are cowards. People that help others being victimized are brave heroic individuals, not snitches.

Some time ago, laws were put into place that prevented parents from spanking their children. They now say that spanking is considered child abuse. Personally, I was spanked up until I was 16 years old. I can tell you that when I got spanked for something, I didn't do it again. Now that parents are banned from spanking their kids, their kids are running amok. This is what happens to our youth when they are allowed to do what they please without the fear of discipline. It's been getting worse every year since Columbine. And it is going to continue to get worse until parents are once again given the right to spank their kids when it is needed. I doubt that any of these offenders had their butts beat when they messed up as kids! And perhaps if Dylan and Eric would have been spanked once in a while, Columbine may never have happened. If my daughter screws up, she will be spanked in my house and if I go to jail as a result, so what? It is my child and it is my choice how I decide to discipline her. She is a good kid and continues to be a good kid because she knows what will happen if she isn't! I am angry at these rapists but I am even more angry at the lazy parents who let them run wild without penalty! Get a clue and beat their asses!

You know why physical punishment is looked down upon in this day and age, Rob? Because people finally started realizing that children are like sponges. They soak up everything from their immediate environment. If you make a habit of smacking your kid around when they've misbehaved, they'll sometimes assume that it's okay to physically assault someone else as a form of behavior modification (your case is an obvious example). Physical punishment is sadistic: it allows the punisher to take their own frustration out on the victim. Sugarcoat it all you want; that's the truth of the matter. You're not spanking your kid as a form of punishment, you're spanking your kid as a form of misplaced anger management.

Hey, I was punished corporally when I was a kid too. It didn't enforce any kind of positive thought in me. In fact, it made me think that it was okay to treat others in the same manner. I didn't bother to think differently until I was out of high school. So instead of beating your daughter, why don't you try talking to her instead? If you can't find more effective ways to punish your child than assault, you're a lazy parent. It's as simple as that.

Remember that child labor was still utilized in this country up until about 40 years ago. Rob's little tirade is proof that we've still got a long way to go before we can form a truly enlightened society.

What a load, THEY LIE mexicans LIE. Look at this whole bunch and think if we would have said no or stopped the so called parents from entering the usa (who wants to bet parents are mostly illegal and or have done time). They are taking pride in going to jail. again white man pays. What will it take for white people to say this must stop we are letting 1000s of further robbers killers rapist come into the usa every day. They are at very best simple minded illiterate dregs. And at worst well we have all seen them at there worst every day we get to see more and more of how this "only here for a better life" race really acts.

Did this so call stand up guy give names and description? why would he be afraid to walk the streets is he also saying his people are lawless savages? DEPORT THE ALL THE RAPISTS FAMILY!

I think all of the people who watched this brutal senseless crime should be punished right along with the people who actually physically did it. What kind of heartless cowards stand by and watch someone get brutalized and do nothing?I hope they all get what is coming to them..

When I was a kid there were consequences for bad behavior. At a young age we learned that if we misbehaved or disrespected others or property, we would get SPANKED. (NOT BEATEN, like some abusive parents do now) My parents didn't spank when angry, because the anticipation, of what might be coming, was as much a deterrent, to future repeat behavior, as the eventual spanking. This gave them time, to not spank out of anger, and possibly cross the line.
Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, basically anyone that had authority over a child at the time, was given permission by the parents to spank, because parents wanted their children to grow up to live respectful & lawful lives in society. (If the spanker abused their authority, they were publicly rebuked)
It worked when spanking was applied. What a lot of people that disagree with spanking endured were beatings. If beatings are applied or spanking is used, for ANY little infraction, then they have an opposite effect.
Jacob L , you were probably spanked or beaten injudiciously, and that is why you took it out on others.
It doesn't hurt much to be spanked and the sting doesn't last long... just long enough to make you think twice before you reoffend. It's the hot stove theory. If you touch a hot stove, it burns. If you get burnt once you don't want to repeat that behavior because you know you will get burnt again and it hurts. Psychologically, you want to reach out and touch it again but you want to avoid being hurt more than your urge to reach out.
If a parent talks to a child and says no-no honey, you can't do that, the child interprets that as a game to do exactly what they were told not to. This follows into the teen years, when a youth naturally pulls away from a parents authority and asserts independence. If you have not established boundaries and discipline by this point, good luck, your child is lost to you, and their peers are in control.
Parents and extended families use to support one another; the community also helped raise the children. If a family was needy, those that had would help out. It takes a whole community to raise good citizens. People can't be afraid to speak up. If a child is doing something wrong, anyone should be able to tell them, that is not acceptable. The parent should not threaten or berate that adult. They should admonish their child for behavior that is unacceptable in society. Laws also must be just, fair, and enforced. Wrong doers must be held accountable, even if they are young. Kids now live with self-indulgent, over-worked, sometimes single parent or deviant family members. Laws now actually prevent teachers and extended family members from taking charge when the parents refuse or are neglectful.
Is it any wonder this is where our society has ended up.
Spanking is not a problem! Peers becoming a stronger influence than family member authority is. (By the way, peers have authority, because they will beat you down both physically and psychologically...)
