     A brutal scene caught on camera in Florida...Police say a group of teenage girls ganged up on a former friend, and beat her up so badly her parents couldn't immediately recognize her.

     Perhaps more shocking, police believe the whole thing was for show.
     It appears the cheerleader's pummeling was intentionally taped for the sole purpose of posting it on the Internet.
     You can see the 16-year-old girl being repeatedly punched in the face.
     So much so, she was actually knocked unconscious and has yet to regain vision in one eye.
     And police believe it was all for a few seconds of fame.
     ABC 6 reporter Erica Ricci has the disturbing details...
