A VIDEO SHOT on a mobile phone of two female teenagers fighting in Cork has gone viral and is being investigated by gardai.

Commenters on forums such as Boards.ie have been noting that while fights in school are not a new occurrence, the recording of these is getting more and more common. The National Parents’ Council have warned teenagers that the videos could come back to haunt them as they are posted on the internet “forever”.

Do you think the recording of fights – “phone fights” as they are dubbed – is of major concern?
