Two N.J. girls who created a "murder video" could face
criminal charges after their video went viral online. The two 12-year-olds
created a video in which they listed numerous fellow classmates as well as
teachers who they wanted to murder.
Two N.J. girls have created a
so-called "murder video" in which they list numerous classmates they
wanted to kill. The girls have since been suspended as an investigation into
their threats is conducted.
The video shows
one of the girls, with the other holding the camera, and together they identify
various people they want to kill.
One of the girls
says in the video: "Wouldn't you guys think I'd be the best assassin
ever."
In another part
of the video the girl says, "Stab him continuously in this area," as
she describes how she wants to kill one victim.
The video goes on
like this for more than 20 minutes, with the two girls laughing through much of
it, oblivious to the seriousness of their threats.
However, the
video has since gone viral, and some of the parents of the children named as
potential victims by the two girls are urging serious action be taken against
them
"My
daughter, she woke up about four times last night, to lock the doors. She woke
up with nightmares," said parent Angelica Marrero, whose daughter was
identified as a victim by the two girls, according to CBS.
Another student
has reported that the day before the video was created one of the same girls
had read a note out aloud in class saying who she wanted to kill.
That student's
mother explained: "My daughter had called me crying hysterically around
11:30, telling me 'mommy, this girl just told me that she's gonna kill
me'."
A police
investigation has now begun, and the two girls have been suspended pending the
results. Some parents have been told that the two girls were receiving a
medical evaluation, although police have not confirmed this.
Some of the
parents have urged authorities ensure the two girls get help to make sure they
do not become a real threat to anyone.
The video has
since been deleted from video sharing website, YouTube.

J girls allegedly make video threatening to kill ‘10 to 12’ of their 7th-grade classmates
The two students have been pulled from classes at their Paterson school and may face charges.

Public School 27 in Paterson had allowed the girl accused of making the initial threats, which occurred in a classroom, back to class after a medical clearance. News of the video, which allegedly featured her and another student discussing potential victims, prompted another suspension.
Two seventh-grade girls at a Paterson, N.J., elementary school made a video saying they wanted to stab and kill “10 to 12” other classmates, one student’s mother says.
The two girls have since been pulled from class at School 27 and may face criminal charges for the alleged threats.
“It’s serious enough for us to have this investigated, especially because of the current climate we’re in,’’ Mayor Jeffery Jones told the Paterson Press on Thursday afternoon, shortly after he had been informed of the situation. “Let’s hope that it was just frustrations and emotions and they didn’t mean anything, but we can’t sit back and just hope.’’
The two girls allegedly made the threats in a 21-minute video that has since been pulled from YouTube. One mother, Jackie Quinones, says the threats started Tuesday out of the teacher’s earshot when one of the girls in the video wrote down and read aloud names of other students she wanted to kill.
“My daughter said to her, ‘You want to kill me?’” Quinones told the Press. “She said, ‘Yes, I want to kill you.’”
Quinones says the teacher did not hear the threats.
The threatened 12-year-old went to the bathroom to hide from her alleged tormentor, crying as she called her mother to tell her what had happened. Quinones drove to the school and met with the principal, who assured her the girl would not be allowed to return to class until she’d seen a doctor for evaluation.
The girl was back in school Wednesday after getting a medical clearance, Quinones said. Later that day, a student found the threatening video on YouTube. It reportedly features one girl on camera and one off camera discussing which of their classmate they want to kill.
Administrators learned of the “disturbing video” that day, school district spokeswoman Terry Corallo wrote in a release.
“As the safety of our students and staff is our utmost concern, we immediately took action and removed these students from the school environment,’’ Corallo wrote. “We have been communicating with the parents who had children in the same class as these two students. We have assured these parents that we have taken this issue very seriously and are taking the necessary steps to address this issue.’’
Parents of threatened children, too, have been proactive, including some who went to police headquarters to press “terroristic threat” charges against the young alleged tormentors. The local juvenile court prosecutor has spoken to concerned parents as well.
The accused girls have no record of previous altercations, Quinones told the Press.
“No bullying, no fights, nothing,’’ she said. “I don’t understand it.’’
