This morning, as I slowly rised from bed at about 2 oclock (lazy I know :p ), I heard a lot of shouting outside, I wen't and had a peak out the window, and witnessed for the first time, one of these happy slapping things taking place.
There was a boy, must have been about 14-15 years old, standing with a mobile phone, filming, as a 9-10 year old boy, was beating the crap out of this other boy, that must have been the same age, they could even have been younger. Some of their pals, who were also very young stood on, watching and laughing.
Some people came out there houses to stop it, as the boys causing all the trouble ran off.

Just thought I'd share this. You hear about it a lot, but its pretty sick to actually witness in real life. Whats the world coming to, these very young boys thinking this is great, fully enjoying what there doing.

Wtf is wrong with parents these days, can't they see what there children is doing, and try and stop, or disipline them?

Ok, I'm finished now :)

These threads regularly pop up. And to be quite frank, it is discusting. How on Earth people believe is Ok and 'funny' to behave in this way is beyond me.. The scary thing is though that it's becoming common practice for a lot of people around where I live and around where others live..

It could be worse. You said people came to stop it, but there have been cases before where nobody bothers.

I think we have a lot of people asking why things are so bad, and as that keeps happening people will all start to do things to make it better...

You might have taken the situation slightly out of context. It could have been that the kids were fighting for some reason and then the people filming saw that this was going on so decided to film it (instead of stopping it :rolleyes: ). The situation might have been like that rather than beating up a kid for no reason other than filming it.

i had a happy slapping attempt on me, it was on a sunday morning i was walking back home, and a bunch of 13-14 year olds started to follow me, and when near home they began to start it, until my brothers turned up behind them, were they all got some treatment of they own. I was tempted to video them with my mobile, but i decided against it.

There was a thing earlier this year (blatently in liverpool) where the guy who got "happy slapped" turned round and thumped the attacker unconscious.

It made the newspapers, and then when I saw the vid on the internet...it...it was better then pron.

people who do it should be tied up and had the crap beaten out of them in public

Perhaps we should bring back the stocks for such people. The real issue is that to do anything that might genuinely deter them would be "against their human rights".
