Mother Reportedly Videotaped Daughter Assault Disabled Girl

A mother of three urged her 14-year-old daughter to assault a disabled girl while she filmed the incident, an Australian court heard Tuesday, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Footage of the 16-year-old victim’s ordeal was then posted on the daughter’s MySpace page, the paper reported.

The mother sat on a bench and filmed the incident on mobile phones and a camera, egging on her daughter and other teens in their assault. She is heard on the footage to yell “Smash her!” and “Punch her in the face!” as the camera closes in on the victim’s bloodied and terrified face, the paper reported.

The scenes were shown to the Melbourn County Court.

The court heard that the woman, 40, got drunk with her daughter and friends aged 13 and 15 at her home before the assault.

The victim was a shy, vulnerable girl with an intellectual impairment who was often bullied at the school all the girls attended.

California Bans Brides and Grooms From Marriage License

“Brides” and “grooms” are no longer allowed to marry in the State of California.

That privilege is only extended to individuals who allow themselves to be called “Party A” and “Party B” on marriage licenses.

Pastor Doug Bird of Abundant Life Fellowship in Roseville, Calif., was alarmed to find the state now rejects the traditional terms after he officiated his first marriage ceremony last week following the California Supreme Court decision to overturn Proposition 22.

The couple had written the words “bride” and “groom” next to “Party A” and “Party B” because they wanted to be legally recognized as husband and wife.

However, the Placer County marriage license was denied.
