Son Attacked; Video Appears On Internet

An Albany father is looking for answers after video surfaced on the Internet of his son being beaten.

The father, who doesn’t want to be identified, said his 16-year-old son was beaten in the parking lot of Periwinkle Elementary School in Albany last Tuesday. He said another student videotaped that attack and posted it on MySpace.com.

The father recorded the video with his cell phone and took it to police, but he said neither the school nor authorities have done much to help.

“This has to stop. We cannot have these children around out kids. These children need psychological help or something, but somebody has to do something,” said the father.

He claimed his son is badly bruised and very upset because other students can watch the beating on the site.

The victim’s dad said he wants to press charges against the teenage boy responsible and said the bully has harassed and threatened his son before.

The father said he plans on filing a police report this week and said he hopes the school will also take action against the boy responsible.
