(April 14, 2008)—One of the eight teenagers charged in the videotaped beating of a classmate remained behind bars, after a seventh teen was released on bond Monday.

Authorities in Florida say Brittany Mayes was released on $33,000 bond.

Employees of the “Dr. Phil” talk show bailed out another girl, Mercades Nichols, over the weekend, but a show spokeswoman says the staffers were wrong to post the girl’s bond.

Eighteen-year-old Stephen Schumaker is still in jail.

The six girls and two boys are charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor batter for a violent beating that was captured on video and widely viewed on the Internet and on TV.

Prosecutors say the teens will be tried as adults.

The youngest is 14.

Why does it always have to be about race. Race has nothing to do with it AT ALL!!!! I'm so tired of hearing about the race issue. All of these girls were white ( the victim and the attackers) I just pray for the girl that got attacked.
