The video taped attack of a Flint Northern student is getting nationwide attention after being posted on Facebook. It may be another case of bullying in Flint. The video provided by Mlive shows a 14 year old Flint Northern high school student being jumped last Friday by three other teens on the city's west side. While it's graphic , even more disturbing, it was recorded and posted online.

Flint residents are reacting after the video gained popularity on Facebook. At least twenty-five people even like the video online. Now the child's mother is hoping an arrest will be made after the posting.

Others are wondering why young attackers would be so bold as to record and post for the world to see.

Flint resident Kevin Caldwell says, " Its disturbing. You would think todays youth would be smarter than to do these things. What you do now shapes your future."

Crystal Turner shares her feelings saying, " I think it's ridiculous how students are being bullied and posting it on social websites, it's nothing to be proud of, this."

The victim told police the attack was unprovoked. The video may now be used to track down the attackers. Police are investigating.
