What kind of punishment should these young thugs receive?
Or is this case just one more similar type of case, that we will hear nothing more about?

Some people would claim to be shocked by this simply because it has been filmed. However, it's a fight between schoolgirls and is nothing new. But when I went to school there was no such thing as YouTube but fights were fairly commonplace, albeit the majority involved boys.
Bullying is also nothing new. It is to be condemned, no doubt about it, but it has also been going on since who knows when.
We don't know all the facts of this particular matter, hence it would be too easy to be judgemental on the basis of a piece of amateur film footage. It's a fight, no more. If one party wishes to lodge a complaint, the relevant authorities will investigate and deal with it. Let's not blow it out of all proportion.

We will hear nothing more about it, as in similar cases, these things are dealt with according to the law.
I suspect that the girls will be charged with either abh or gbh and will in all likelihood get a police caution and a stern talking to (if this is a first offence).
This is not a lot different from what happens on TV every day when you see camera crews following police teams on an evening patrol.

Is there an agrument that the fact that these attacks can be filmed and posted has increased their occurences? My gut feeling is that it has.
As to what should happen? They're 14, not toddlers. I hope that they will face police charges based on the assault, the added stigma of having the victim paraded in public (albeit through the medium of internet) and based on their stupidity of handing the world evidence aainst them.

AOG,
You appear to miss the irony in my post, so let's go for the literal...
Don't you think these savages are a product of their environment?
Wouldn't you agree that these Jeremy Kyle-ist street trash are like that because of the debased culture they're raised in?
Cox if you don't believe that, then how do you explain their behaviour, and how can you continue to link black crime to race.
You can try to have it both ways, but it's a terribly difficult argument to successfully justify.
