Video of school fight posted online

A beating that took place in a high school bathroom in California was videotaped and circulated on the Internet. A 17-year-old Iranian-American student "suffered a broken jaw after being struck several times by two attackers," the Associated Press reports. The video was posted in a UK media-hosting site called PutFile.com, which has a nothing-illegal policy and said it would've taken down the video if it had been informed about the posting. PutFile did delete the file. The family of the victim said it would sue the school district for failing to protect him, the AP later reported. Here's a statement from the Contra Cost County prosecutor's office and the latest, in the Contra Costa Times, on how the community is dealing with this event, which was widely reported.
