Teenager acted as film director during attack
A 13-year-old boy acted as "director" and filmed two teenage girls as they stripped and tortured a 14-year-old in scenes he described as resembling video game Resident Evil.

The trio punched and kicked their victim and hit her with stiletto heels during the 45-minute assault in an underground car park.
All three were ordered to be detained for four years, followed by a further five years of supervision.
At the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday, Lord Malcolm told the teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, that their "uncontrolled cruelty" had put their victim's life in danger.
He added: "No words of mine can adequately describe her ordeal and the harm it has caused.
"Much could and no doubt will be said about how and why this happened and an anguished society's response to it. Whatever else, it is plain that the dis-inhibiting effect of the huge quantities of alcohol consumed by all of you played a significant part."
The court heard that background reports on the trio revealed factors including a "chaotic, abusive and violent home life", involvement in gang culture, underage drinking and "disengagement from education"
The judge said he had taken into account the fact that they were children, but a custodial sentence was necessary because of their "depravity".
The trio had earlier admitted attacking their victim in the car park at the Omni Centre in Edinburgh on January 23 this year.
The victim's older sister welcomed the sentences, saying her family was "ecstatic" and her sister was "really pleased", adding: "It was better than we expected."
The girl, now 15, spent six days in hospital and suffered flashbacks in the wake of the incident.
A doctor said her injuries revealed a sustained and vicious assault, with puncture marks on her head consistent with being struck by stiletto heels.
Alex Prentice QC, prosecuting, said the victim was "repeatedly kicked and punched to her head and body, slapped, spat on, struck with high heels, stripped naked and struck with metal signs".
The incident started when one of the girls accused the 14-year-old, who was with the group before the attack, of making threats against her and began punching and kicking her.
The boy got his phone out to record the attack and the victim had her trousers removed.
The boy urged the other girls to "get her naked" and "get her top off" and at one point said: "It's only been five minutes of torture."
All three took turns kicking the girl's head "as if it were a football". He then told them to "get the heels oot" and they beat the victim with their stilettos.
At one point the video footage showed the naked teenager slumped against a wall and covered in blood while the boy said: "It's like Resident Evil".
A security guard found her coming out of the car park, saying: "I need help".
Hang your heads in shame. I surely hope you are under the observations of social services.

Probably the same parents that let little Jonny have a beer 'cause it does him no harm'
Yes it beggars belief. Children growing up to be social delinquents because their parents fail to provide any decent role-model or boundaries.
And to the muppet who labeled me a troll, no, think more outraged mother of 3 sick of seeing and hearing of children being dragged up.0 -

Modern Warfare 2 is probably the best game I have played online in years.
It's truely stunning.
The heartbeat monitor is the secret to this game online though.
I was playing violent games since I was young and I never stabbed or shot or tortured or killed anyone. FACT!! As I know some people like their facts."I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!0 -

I'm a gamer and also a father of three. But think you would be better pointing out that its illegal to buy or allow minors to play the game rather than actually bang on about how you see others raising their kids as irresponsible. I still find it a bit odd that you created an account purely to derail this thread rather than stick to topic about where the best prices are.0 -

I have to agree with you. Even the name was designed to provoke a reaction, therefore the definition of Internet Troll would appear to be correct. I'm not saying I don't agree with some of the 'Tarded Troll's comments, it's just that there's ways of putting your point over that don't resort to personal attacks.0 -
When I got my copy from Morrissons last week, I was amazed to see a lady in the queue behind me, buying a copy for her son who was with her. He didn't look much older than 12 or so.
I did wonder if she was going to get him a few Bacardi Breezers and a packet of Marlboro Lights on the way out.0
