NORTH BABYLON, N.Y. - Three teenage girls were arrested Tuesday on charges that they punched and kicked another girl and recorded the beating so they could broadcast it online.

Police in Long Island's Suffolk County said the video showed the three girls beating a 13-year-old girl Dec. 18 at a school.  The video was shown on two Web sites.
