14 DAY TRIAL // A new clip posted on YouTube expelled four students from a Hastings school after they were involved in a fight recorded by a student. According to TV3, two students lured a 16-year old student in a park and attacked him while they were recorded by a fourth pupil. Although the school's official wanted to remain anonymous, they confirmed that all students were expelled after the clips became popular using the Google online video sharing service.
"Four students from a Hastings high school have been expelled over an attack on a school mate that was revealed on an internet video. The school, which can not be named, has confirmed two 14- and 16-year-old boys have been charged with assault after the incident. The video on You Tube showed a 16-year-old boy being lured to a park and attacked late last month. The boy is not returning to the school. The 15-year-old that allegedly filmed the attack and a fourth pupil have also been expelled after a meeting of the Board of Trustees," TV3 reported today.
In the past, a similar case was reported by numerous publications that sustained some students were expelled after a fight was posted on the Google product. However, it's obvious the online video sharing service tends to become more than a simple product because more and more users are lured to use it with a different purpose. Take the example of numerous police officers who posted surveillance clips on the page to require members' help and identify the suspects. In the recent time, the recently acquired product is promoted as the best way to promote the upcoming presidential campaign and allow users to communicate with the candidates.
