Weird punishment option

“Fight Club” Busted at Local High School | WOAI.COM: San Antonio News

Calling it their fight club, these students are mimicking the “Fight Club” movie that came out six years ago. After seeing the video clips on youtube.com, Dr. Harey got a hold of La Vernia Police Chief Bobby Hyatt and the high school’s liaison officer.

“My school officer, when she watched the thing, she could tell me every kid who was involved and she knew the voices and these kids actually called each other by names, so you knew who was involved with it,” said Chief Hyatt.

Over the past two days, many of the students in this fight club have been questioned. Depending on their involvement, Chief Hyatt says some may face juvenile detention.

I understand that this is a horrible thing to do. There should be consequences for those involved but would punishing kids for violence by putting them into violent facilities really help.

    Sorry Robin,
    I don’t have the link. Your kids probably have it or can find it.

    I agree with Technorati Tags; let the punishment fit the crime. This is a whole lotta over reacting!!! The “adults” should set an example and TALK to the kids about the dangers of this type of recreation; otherwise, you come off looking worse than the kids.
