Every kid these days has a camera phone. It will be recorded and on youtube before the hour is up.
Lot of kids today beat up one kid then post it online, here on fr we have posted stories about this. It’s all the rage with kids. Beat up a girl or boy in the bathroom then post it! Kids most often, more so with the Amish ones don’t even get arrested if they beat up a white child.
Kids who are bullies have parents who are bullies. So put the bully parents in jail. When they lose money on their job and with court costs and fines they will make their kids cut the crap.
In my experience many instances are hit and run with targets of opportunity. No chance for video.
Also, you’re partially right about parents of bullies but not always. This kid has a very strong family with very good parents, just a little more ignorant about their son.
His older sister is very athletic and also smart. I think the kid was trying and failing to reach her level so instead he lashed out to make himself feel better than he really was.
