One Instagram page devoted to Clayton County student brawls — clayco.fights — has nearly 400 fight videos and more than 30,000 followers.
A Henry County page, which sprung up shortly after a similar page was deleted, has more than 3,000 followers. Last year, a distraught Cobb County parent alerted police and school officials to a site called Cobb Hook Session, which featured brawls between young people.
The fight pages are so troubling that some school districts are taking steps to address the problem by monitoring the internet. If students are caught on tape on school grounds, they could be suspended.
