A 15­year­old meekly pleaded
guilty Monday to assault in the
infamous beatdown of another
girl in a Brooklyn McDonald's.
The teen terror, whose name is
being withheld by The Daily
News because of her age,
copped to a misdemeanor
charge, which carries a penalty
of up to one year in a jail for
juveniles.
She was originally booked on
felony robbery in the March 9
attack in the Flatbush Ave. fast­
food restaurant, which was
captured on a cellphone video
that went viral on the Internet.
“I punched and kicked the
victim,” she told Family Court
Judge Terrence McElrath in a
barely audible voice.

The judge asked if the punching
and kicking was for the purpose
of injuring the victim.
“Yes,” she replied as her mother
looked on.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Terrica Taylor urged the judge not to release the
girl to the custody of her mother because she remains a "serious risk" to the
community.
Although it was her first arrest,
the girl associates with a gang
called the "Young Savages" and

had participated in stalking the
victim even though she had no
personal beef with her, Taylor
said.
“This was not impulsive, it was
premeditated for some time,”
Taylor said.
McElrath agreed and ordered
the girl held, but noted that she
will stay in a less­secure facility
until her sentencing on April
Fool's Day.
The city Probation Department
will send the judge a sentencing
recommendation as to whether
mental health treatment,
supervision or a jail term is
appropriate.
COURTESY TONY HERBERT
Six teens were cuffed for their part in the attack on a 15­year­old
girl at a Brooklyn McDonald’s.
Defense lawyer Harold Baker
said the teen “now understands
the error of her ways.”

Personally the only one that I think should get any jail time is the one with the long rap sheet. Let the rest
go or give them some kind of community service. Mine might not be the popular opinion among those
that normally agree with me, but I can live with that. They got into a fight. The fight didn't bother me,
MOST of us in here got into fights growing up. Some of us got into worse fights than what we saw on that
video. The only thing that bothered me is that they chose to do it in a McDonalds. What bothered me
more is the adults that seemed to be cheering them on. Like

Five on one wasn't a fight. It was a beat down. That's their mentality, and that has to change
before they can walk the streets unattended again for society to be safe. Anything else and it's
just lather, rinse, repeat.

That mentality is bound to change in jail.
