School officials didnt know how much the tapes were selling for. The mother said the boys hit her daughter's rear end at a bus stop several weeks ago. "From what I could tell it was just a couple kids making a dumb video with an inappropriate gesture," said Mapleton Police Chief Dean Cutterson. "We're still interviewing and investigating to see if any criminal charges will be pressed." The boys began selling copies of the video at their school and were turned in after another mother found it, according to the girl's mother. The girl's family decided to contact the police after they found out it was being sold. Lynn Mecham, the school's vice principal, said school officials are still trying to find all of the copies of the tape. "I think it was something they had seen on TV and thought it would be funny to try and make a video for themselves, not knowing the consequences," Mecham said.
