    That has had a serious effect on me. It's without the most emotional I've ever been watching a YouTube video. I'm genuinely in tears for this woman. Kids cn be the cruelest people in the world

    Perhaps the greatest retribution is that this has the potential to haunt these kids for the rest of their lives - imagine them attending an interview in the future and suddenly the interviewer recognises the name etc.


    I sure it will affect schools and colleges they attend.

    This sort of thing happened all the time when I was in School. You had horrible bullying teachers that got away with murder in how they treated students. Then there were the well-meaning, naive teachers that were considered fair game by the students and got the receiving end. It's like a viscous cycle, and such a high pressure, negative environment because so many students and teachers resent being there.

    The way I see it there are two types of people, leaders and followers. In situations like this the vast vast majority of people will turn a blind eye or go along with the crowd. More than we care to believe. That little sh*te to the right seems to be doing 90% of the goading. Whenever people watch thing like this they say they would have stayed out of it, or done something to stop it. But statistically the chances are high that you wouldn't.

    This is why I don't believe in institutionalized education but that's another story...

    The kid in that video looked to be about 12-14 and yet, exhibited nothing in the way of moral fibre, never mind compassion or empathy. These sort of kids are too old to not take responsibility for their own actions. Punishment is in order.

    Nah, it won't affect their prospects now. To paraphrase Charlie Brooker from his column today: Twitter fame can be brutal but its memory is short.

    How it affects them psychologically, being worldwide hate figures at just 11, even if just for a few days? Well, that's another story...

    I'm not so sure, some people just don't seem to have any conscience or remorse. Remember those kids who bullied Phoebe Prince?
    They just didn't care.
    Some people are just bad to the bone.
