Another Videotaped Teen Beating as a Disturbing Trend Emerges

Despite the fact that people are saying that the Victoria Lindsay beating isn't related to YouTube and the Web ... and it probably isn't ... at least as much as it's related to anti-social behavior among teens. Still, it's unsettling to find yet another instance of a teen beating, with the attackers capturing the beating on video once again.

This attack occurred last Friday in Fort Worth, Texas, and the victim, T. J. Chappell said, "It's kind of painful. I was kind of in a daze, and I faded away."

Chappell was sitting on a curb, when three cars and a truck pulled up, and "about 30 guys" stepped out of the vehicles.

The 16-year-old said he kept telling the attackers he didn't want to fight. When one of them started hitting him, he said he started to fight back.

"I was going one-on-one with one kid and a big, dark kid hit me in the back of my head. Then all of them started stomping on me," he said. Chappell believes that he was saved by playing dead. "They saw my eyes close, so they ran," he said. "They got scared."

Watch a video with clips of the beating and a video interview. While the video of the beating on this clip was one taken by a friend of Chappell's - for evidence - two of the attackers were already taping the beating.
