A video of one girl beating down another in the girls’ locker room of Norwood Middle School in Cincinnati was posted on YouTube three weeks ago according to WLWT in this report published Monday.
The video shows 13-year-old Katelind Lewis attacked by another girl who was 14.

No, you’ve come to the right place. The blog is undergoing a lot of changes.
Aside from the very obvious design change, the majority of changes are under the hood — things readers won’t see, but are large improvements for me, the blog writer.
Problems I was experiencing with Internet Explorer not being able to see embedded videos from YouTube or Google Video prompted me to look into new turnkey blog software.
On my home computer, which runs Vista and the latest versions of Internet Explorer 7 and Norton Internet Security, the embedded blog videos were not displaying properly when I viewed the blog in Internet Explorer.
