Video obtained by The Times shows L.A. County probation officers standing by as a group of at least six teens beat another youth in Los Padrinos juvenile hall.
Several L.A. County probation officers stood by as at least six youths assaulted a 17-year-old inside Los Padrinos juvenile hall in December, with some officers appearing to laugh and shake hands with the assailants as the beating progressed, according to footage obtained by The Times. The video shows a teen sustaining punches and kicks from a series of youths in a 'day room' inside the Downey facility.
The 17-year-old stands his ground and punches and shoves in self-defense on multiple occasions, and the officers make no attempt to escort him out. As the video ends, the attacking youths are allowed to leave the room without incident. The 17-year-old eventually sits down at a table. No one immediately checks to see if he's injured.
