Justin Bieber was charged Wednesday with assault for allegedly hitting a Toronto limousine driver several times in the back of the head last month, just hours after his attorney entered a separate not guilty plea in Florida to drunken-driving and other charges.
Bieber turned himself in to a Toronto police station, arriving amid a crush of media and screaming fans. He was charged with one count of assault and is scheduled to appear in court in Toronto on March 10.
Police allege Bieber was one of six people who were picked up by a limousine from a nightclub in the early morning hours of Dec. 30, and there was an altercation while en route to a hotel.
Police said during the altercation one of the passengers hit the limo driver in the back of the head several times.

She has family.
The kid also has a father. He is his family
He cares about no one but himself
Are you letting them off the hook because they are irresponsible?
Dysfunctional “family” is not family.
And no, he’s responsible for himself now. Sadly, he’s got to learn the hard way.
I said this to my kids four years ago, his family( mother was cashing in, leaving him unsupervised and unable to choose friends wisely
I said, and they all said I was stupid, all talented musicians find their passion and improve on it at age 13.
I have many lists of them in my head. The smart ones, or the poor ones or the ones with loving mature humble parents are the ones who are lucky
He peaked too early.
Peaking early is the STORY of Hollywood children and teenagers...and their mothers who SELL THEM DOWN THE RIVER...and I hope they burn in H - e - double hockey sticks.
His family is stupid and he has to pay the price ( unless the authorities continue to give into bribes and keep letting him go)
He is 19 years old so he is, theoretically, a man and has to stand on his own. My opinion: he is doomed. But then, I've seen that same story from all the way back to Natalie Wood. Sad story, but they DO have the money to help with the sadness.
He is surrounded by greed and avarice, with no skills in choosing friends v enemies v frenemies.
His absent father and naive greedy mother are to blame
He needs help. And those who’ve collected millions from him are very busy.
Nothing new here. Same story with SO many of the people who go to Hollywood. He CAN opt out if he wants. He's a big boy and can make his own choices.
But to say he’s not talented no. That’s where this started.
My idea of talent: CLASSICAL guitarists.
Here's a list of 20th century geniuses.
Laurindo Almeida (1917–1995)(Brasil)
María Luisa Anido (1907–1996) (Argentina, Spain)
Agustín Pío Barrios (1885–1944) (Paraguay)
Abel Carlevaro (1916–2001) (Uruguay)
Leif Christensen 1950–1988
Alirio Díaz (b. 1923) (Venezuela)
Sila Godoy (b. 1919)
Alexandre Lagoya (1929–1999) (France)
Antonio Lauro (1917–1986) (Venezuela)
Miguel Llobet (1878–1938)
Sergei Orekhov (1935–1998)
Emilio Pujol (1886–1980) (Spain)
Ida Presti (1924–1967)
Celedonio Romero (1913–1996) (Spain)
Regino Sainz de la Maza (1896–1981) (Spain)
**Andrés Segovia (1893–1987) (Spain)
José Tomás (1934–2001) (Spain)
**Narciso Yepes (1927–1997) (Spain)
Frantz Casseus (1915-1993) (Haiti)
**I have those records somewhere.
I also LOVE classical piano. I inherited that from my father and one of his sisters.
His father reappeared once he got rich. They are now drinking buddies.
If he was so talented he ought to have been a classical musician.
Parents are so innocent in this culture
It is nauseating to watch
He’s not old enough to buy a beer
Learn the hard way.
Is he hated because he has money?
Do Freepers live in the woods, on run down homes, hating wealthy people for having money?
Sick
There are no dysfunctional families. This kid’s childhood was stolen from him by his family.
He’ll pay the price. No one will care if he learns
I called it years ago.
I sure wish he’d hit me several times in the back of the head :)
Talent is one thing; discipline is another.
Just a break. Please. He’s going into custody. He’s not old enough to buy a drink
Stop
He’ll pay the price.
Hatred on this site for people with money wll bury it. Mark my word
He was put into this at age 12. You think he can make good decisions?
Ijiut
I would add Julian Bream, Liona Boyd and Norbert Kraft to your list.
FWIW, I’m with you on this one stanne.
Any parent here who gives a crap about a very immature and misguided 19 year old, should feel some empathy for the vultures that are pecking at this kid.
Unless there are people here who happen to know him, know his family, know his inner circle and know those who he is bound to by contracts, I’d much prefer to give this kid the compassion I feel he deserves. The music industry is loaded with sick and greedy f’ers who couldn’t care less about him.
In the USA maybe, but he's of legal drinking age here.
Welcome to what WAS Micheal Jackson’s world.
Surrounded by predators.
Hey. Go ahead. Hate him. Wish him all kinds of ill. But you all look like smarmy Hollywood producers watching someone fail
Do you cherish Cloud Berries?
Connie Stevens was America’s prettiest teenage girl back then. Haven’t heard much from her lately. There are likely very few good roles on TV for women her age, unless you want to play Shelly Winter-Evil Step Mother type roles. There’s an opening for Rosie O Donald.
He wouldn’t be going anywhere if he egged my house.
He’s a kid.
His talent is huge. It was cashed in on and now he’s left out with no guidance.
