What they apparently did is coerce the other little boy into letting them manipulate and photograph his genitals and penetrate his anus (probably with objects.)
This raises strong suspicions that these children have been exposed to gross, debasing pornography and probably were themselves violated by older children or by adults.
There is probable cause to think that all the perpetrators were prior victims of abuse.
A whole lot of soul-searching should ensue.
Widepread criminal investigation should ensue.
Criminal charges and/or liability lawsuits should ensue.
That would not guarantee justice nor a "make whole" solution nor healing. I don't know how anything could be "made whole" at this point. Lord have mercy.

Reasonable conclusion, since we were not born with this kind of “knowledge.”
