PiscesPolice: Facebook Site May Have Led to Beating of 12-Year-Old
CNN: The beating of 12-year-old boy by a group of classmates at a Southern California middle school may be linked to a Facebook posting encouraging kids to target redheads, authorities say.
The redheaded boy was beaten up by a group of seventh and eighth graders at A.E. Wright Middle School in Calabasas in two separate incidents Friday, according to a statement released Sunday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
A Facebook page stating that Friday was "Kick a Ginger Day," referring to redheads and possibly inspired by an episode of the "South Park" series, may have sparked the injuries at the middle school, authorities said.
The boy's injuries were not serious, and no one has been arrested, authorities said Sunday.

I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you’ve gotten hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the issue is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing regarding this.
A troubling sign that yet another generation is evolving w/o a value system that defines the difference between right and wrong. Blaming facebook or any other public forum is manure of the highest grade. This is nothing more than a focal point identifying parents failures to instill values of decency and common sense.
