Mother of teenage bully threatens after viral bullying video
How far does parental responsibility go when children attack others? A bullying video recorded and shared by the attackers themselves has put one mother at the centre of the controversy.
The footage, showing a minor assaulting another girl, was published by the attackers themselves on social media. Public outrage was swift, and the video began to go viral. But the mother of the alleged attacker responded by threatening those who shared the content, according to reactions on social media.
The case opens a delicate legal front: sharing images of minors, even by the attackers themselves, can constitute a crime. Moreover, the mother's threats could aggravate her own potential incivil liability.
Meanwhile, public opinion is divided between those demanding accountability from parents and those pointing out that the video going viral also abusa the rights of the minors involved.
In the end, the blanket that was supposed to cover them looks more like a net that traps them.
