According to multiple parents, the 8th graders pooled their money to buy the penis-shaped sex aid from a popular gift company.
One apparently turned it on another at a local residence while at least two others helped with the horrific assault, they said.
Video of the penetration and what the parents said was an equally disgusting subsequent act was apparently recorded and shared.
It wasn't immediately clear what physical injuries the victim may have suffered or what medical treatment was needed.
Nor was it clear how minors were able to obtain an adult toy.
First Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Heather Suffin confirmed on Tuesday, April 9 that County Prosecutor Mark Musella's office is handling the case.

Delinquency complaints are heard behind closed doors in the Family Part of Superior Court in Hackensack.
Family court judges in New Jersey have an array of choices. The most common is supervised probation, which ordinarily is accompanied by a required amount of community service and/or financial restitution.
Some delinquents are also required to undergo counseling.
