Teen Girls in Videotaped Beating of Woman are Remorseless, Cop Says

Four teenage girls caught on videotape laughingly beating a defenseless woman are remorseless and defiant even as they are about to be arraigned on criminal charges in a Philadelphia court, police said today.

The girls videotaped the beating and posted it on Facebook. Someone who saw the video called the cops.

Four of the six teens involved have been arrested and they are aged 16 and 17, according to the Chester Police Department. Authorities are searching for the other two girls.

The cell phone video shows five girls standing on the street on Tuesday night, playing around for the camera before the assault began.

"It's a group of girls on a corner chatting, rapping, goofing around," Chester Police Det. James Nolan told ABCNews.com.. "Then they decide, from the audio, you hear them say they're going to 'f**k this b***h up.' They plot the thing as they walk up."

I hope they're are all charged to the fullest extent.

It's sickening that anyone could find this kind of behavior to be amusing.

They'll probably be out in months to a few years. If they can be helped, it should be provided.

Which seems right to me. If they get a slap on the wrist it would be pretty sad.

Do animals in the wild attack each other for sport, for no reason at all?

Two of the boys cannot be charged since they're under 10. This woman had been tormented by the trio for months before they beat and robbed her:

I can't believe people can be so cruel to one another. I can only hope they get help....so disgusting. Little monsters.
