I did hear that story saluki, I think it ended up on Dateline or something like that. So sad. And I can see how it would happen, people are so easily influenced at that age.
Regarding the video...I didn't watch it, but I somewhat agree with Lmo that watching it only gives the beaters exactly what they wanted. Fame. Glory. Attention.
No, we shouldn't pretend it didn't happen. But perhaps respect the victim by not watching their moment of horror?
Not to stretch this too far....but I know there are several abuse victims on this very page. Would you want your attacks broadcast over the internet?
Yes, the attackers should be punished and yes, the story needs to be told. But let's respect the privacy of the victim here.
