[...] Lastly, I am also reminded of the case where some high school girls savagely beat up a 13 year old girl outside of a school and posted it on YouTube. The posting of the video, by the perpretators, on YouTube and MySpace eventually led to the three being arrested. I am in no way advocating that the error was in them posting the video. Of course, without a doubt, it just goes without saying that the crime was in the cruel and savage assault itself. In this case, the sense of impunity and absolute disregard for others was what lead them to post the video in, possibly, wat may have amounte to bragging. A senselss act followed by an inconsequential one brought about the destruction of three very young lives. Sad indeed.

We need prayer back in Schools. We need the presence of God in our homes, schools, the internet and everywhere.

The problem is less one of YouTube than it is one of our sick need to see others harmed. Why are we, as a group, entertained by the senseless beating of a child…even by other children? Why didn’t the parents of the children get together and bring the little buggers to justice? Why do we constantly defend our offspring, siblings, and relatives, even when we know they are wrong?? We expect others to be above that sort of thing…but, its OK for us. No matter where we live, we live in a small community that does have the ability to police itself. But, we refuse to take the responsibility. If my child had been one of the beaters, she would have been right to fear me more than the police. I cannot fathom what we have taught our children when this type of behavior isn’t as uncommon as it should be.

There are too many videos uploaded for them to review them all. But they should police “flagged” videos, and do randomized manual searches based on certain keywords.
