Why would the police hypothetically be involved?

Boom. Done.

Yep.

Watching the video made me so sad and I kept saying "God bless you." However, at the end of the day, times have not changed so much that adults are unable to tell children to shut their dumbasses up and stop filming their stupidity.

Something to always remember: Good parenting and even being a good child (any other time) do not prevent bullying. Even the most awesome children do stupid things when they are not around their parents and when they are not preoccupied being Susie Sunshine. Also, kids who are bullied can be the bully when they find someone weaker, and kids who are bullies can be bullied when they are not the strongest.

The most amusing thing is that bullying does not end in adulthood so I do not know why people are so shocked and up in arms with bullying itself (not the negative outcomes like suicide and self-harm). Bullying has existed since "Eve" allegedly punked "Adam" into eating that damn apple...or pomegranate.... The only difference is that idiots are filming the stuff and (some bullying experts and suicide experts agree) there can be a copycat effect in terms of how younger victims of bullying respond. As soon as we can get idiots to stop filming, we will find other ways to deal with bullying. It will be handled without the billboard on highway sensationalism that humans (media) has a tendency to do. I remember the assemblies that my elementary school had about gossiping and bullying in the 1980s and this was back when adults were allowed to smoke in our classrooms. Yet and still, we were not seen as fragile little flowers who cannot take even the smallest glitch to our childhoods--it kind of reminds me of GC recruitment stories.
