Maine homeless didn't report filmed attack by teens (2 girls, 1 boy), Social media alerted cops



The Auburn Police Department in Maine said on Sunday that it had charged two girls, aged 14 and 16, as well as a 15-year-old boy who allegedly filmed the incident, who was charged with criminal conspiracy.


A video circulating on Facebook, seen by The Independent, showed two young women repeatedly kicking and punching a person sitting on the street, who screams while a man sitting next to them pleads with the girls to stop.

A voice, possibly from the person filming the video, is heard saying "kick this n***** too!", leading one of the girls to round on the man and attack him as well.

On Sunday the police department said it was investigating other, similar videos that had come to light after the arrests. It did not name the three children, citing their age.

Police said they had encountered two seemingly homeless people on Saturday who "appeared to have been assaulted" but did not want to talk about it. Later, the department began to receive calls and messages about the "disturbing video".

Civilized society really does need a quick, easy, reliable test for sociopaths. What a dating app that would make!
