Hello All~
What another Horrific Thing! <grimace>.
I don't blame UTube though. They offer a Free Sevice. I don't know for sure, but I don't think the place was intended/created for stuff like this that happened. Nearly any site has ways to Report Problems, or Violations of Their Policies. And given that U-Tube is widespread, 600 PPL while it sounds like a lot, and Is a lot of PPL, I'm sure it's not for That Site. I wonder what the other 599 PPL thought? Maybe that it wasn't even Real? Fortunately *Someone* was disturbed enough by it to Report it.
Maybe the internet does help create indifference to such things? And others. These days children, and PPL everywhere pretty much have free access to the internet, where they spend hours upon hours, talking with PPL they don't know, playing games, reading and seeing things that maybe they shouldn't be? Nearly everyone has a computer these days. Who is not influenced in some way by what they see and read and hear? The internet also has the annonminity factor that a child or anyone else can Do Be Say Anything while on the net.
I think the net offers a lot of positives, but that it has as many negatives also.
Too Many children today (because of a need for 2 income households just to survive in today's economy, and split Family's) are left to do what they will, with no Caretaker to Teach, Supervise, and watchover them, and what they do.
I've also noticed that younger children are doing more horrific things, than in the past. It seems there is a lack of Supervision and Guidance for many of today's children. And then taking away of Authoritative Power (tying their hands), from Parents, Teachers, and Other's, by the Government, has done a lot to harm Society as a whole, by Allowing children to *just get away with it* (whatever IT is). I've also heard many children say what the laws will or won't do about things they do, because of their age. AND they find that quite hilarious <sighs>. Most of them already Know just how much Time they will do for what. And they have no fear or concern about it at all.
At the same time there is children, such as the child Known by Ozme, who is suffering for Trying to Protect himself and the PPL he Loves, from one of the type of children I wrote about above. When Those who are Supposed to make others abide by the Laws Don't, what the heck is someone to do? Granted, this child made a very poor Choice by killing the other child. At the same time, he was Also a Child.
I don't think, and in my experience with children (and I have a lot of it) that children think, realize, or reason, the way adult PPL do. They lack Experience and adult Judgement in deciphering things. They many times think themselves 10 foot tall and bulletproof, and they aren't.
There should perhaps be Levels of punishment for children? And psychologicals done on them before a punishment is handed down, to determine Why it happened. And consideration of that child's Criminal past also. Before determining a child should be Caged for the rest of their Life. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, like the child Ozme Knows.
Children like the ones that this thread was started about, were nearly adult in age, by most Laws, most places. Dunno about England? And I do think should be Judged as such, based on the hieniessness of what they did to another Human Being.
I Always think the punishment should fit the crime! And too many times it doesn't.
At the same time, I am Very For the Punishment handed down Being what one did. Rape=Be Raped. Kill=Be Killed. Maim=Be Maimed. etc. If PPL Knew they were going to suffer the same thing they did to someone else, they might not be in such a hurry to do it?
Also when found Guilty by a Court of Law, I think the perp should be handed over to the victim for punishment, or the Family of the victim if the victim did not survive.
Just Me and My Opinion's and Thoughts on such things.
