ROCKY MOUNT, Va. (AP) - Three teenage
counselors at a 4-H camp were charged Thursday
with child abuse, disorderly conduct and assault
for allegedly forcing young campers into
bare-knuckle fights, then charging admission and
allowing betting.

Two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old were
charged in juvenile court with 24 felony and 34
misdemeanor counts. The counselors, whose
names were not released because of their ages,
worked at the camp near Smith Mountain Lake
from June 30 to July 4.

Franklin County prosecutor Cliff Hapgood said the
counselors helped organize fights that involved
eight boys between the ages of 10 and 12.

Not your everyday boyhood prank, now is it? Chilling and cruel.

And this is relatively near Roanoke and Lynchburg. Guess Jerry Falwell has some work to do in his own backyard!

NeoCon every-man for himself style.
