A violent attack on a teenage girl that was caught on video by multiple people in Kelowna, B.C., has prompted her father to come forward, demanding answers and justice.

Kelowna RCMP say the attack happened on Friday evening, and that the video has been circulating "widely" online in the southern Interior community, around 270 kilometres east of Vancouver in B.C.'s Okanagan.

RCMP say the attack happened in the area of Boyce-Gyro Beach Park and was one of several incidents of youth committing criminal offences, including assault and mischief, in the area.

Rich entitled children of rich entitled parents ...

I missed the part of the article that spoke about the assailants coming from upper class upbringings.

In fact the victim and assailants weren't named.

Where are you getting your information?

I lived in Kelowna twice, first in the 70s then again in the 10s. I saw it first-hand.

Basing an opinion on anecdotal evidence without all of the facts presented is a dangerous thing to do.

Food for thought.

Mischief is such a weird crime. It sounds entirely too benign.

Three teens involved in the assault have been arrested ...

As well they should be, but the sentence:

...youth committing criminal offences, including assault and mischief, in the area.

Makes me wonder what else they got up to that wasn't enough to stop them before it escalated to assault.
