Just seen this today in the Lancashire Telelgraph, what a sorry indication of some of the youngsters today, it makes you afraid for your own, where will it all end I want to know. I also think You Tube should take some responsibility for allowing it to be shown. I have'nt watched it and dont want to, it horrifies me and makes me so sad. :x :cry:

Maybe if camera/video phones were banned then this kind of thing wouldn't happen. I think youtube owes much of its success to camera phones.

I feel sick. Sadly I can sort of understand why passers-by don't intervene. You're at risk of becoming the focus of the violence. But if no-one intervenes then it becomes self-perpetuating.
But to film it and post it on youtube . . . What does that say about them? Does no-one police the site to remove offensive stuff?

I think they really on videos being reported as unsuitable material though I don't really know. I only ever go there if someone has sent a link to something.
