Two teenage girls were arrested after they beat up their classmate and posted the video on YouTube. The video has since been removed at the request of the police.

"The girls, ages 12 and 14, attacked their 13-year-old classmate at Benicia Middle School twice because they believed she had been making disparaging comments about them, police Lt. Mike Daley said."
