In reality people do not bounce back and the example of Victoria Lindsay being brutally beaten by six girls shows exactly this. Yet, the parents of the Victoria are not placing all of the blame on the attackers but on Youtube which posted the video of the attack. While it is Youtube’s responsibility to monitor all of the videos placed on their site, it is also the responsibility of the viewers to tag the videos as inappropriate. Which connects to the topic of desentizing children.

I agree with the statement about teenagers now wanting to broadcast their actions on the web. I think that teenagers want attention and if they can get it on a national level, they will be recieving their five minutes of fame. They are not worried about the repercussions of these five minutes in the spotlight.

Our society can teach children about the repercussions of their actions and how what they post on the internet can effect other people. Society needs to teach children that violence is wrong and that when we see violence on the internet to report it not just let it slide.
