The victim and the perpetrators still attend the same school despite the torture video.
In a harrowing video, a group of Turkish-speaking students torture a 12-year-old victim, with the film showing the victim repeatedly beaten, forced to kneel, and verbally insulted.
Despite the serious nature of the crime, police are discontinuing their investigation, stating that the young age of the perpetrators, who are also 12, means no charges can be filed.
The video was filmed in the city of Uetersen in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, with the picture and videos published by German newspaper Bild.
