Suggestive Teen Video in Beverly: Is This a 'Teachable Moment' For Kids?

Beverly authorities have decided not to press charges in the case of a suggestive video made by an eighth-grade Beverly girl. Local boys found the video and were circulating it, according to WCVB.

School officials suspended students at Beverly High School and disciplined others at Briscoe Middle School for viewing or passing around the video.
