I think there needs to be a serious reset with this shit. Every child needs to make mistakes to learn from them, thats just how it works. If every time I had done something stupid was filmed then god knows what the outcome of it all would have been.
Surely consent is being overlooked here in a serious way? It cannot be legal to take out your phone and record people something like those 2 without their permission, and then to distribute it can it? What this needs is either the current legislation to be enacted, the original phone that was taken on could be traced no problem, bring them to court and make it clear that people will be prosecuted for this stuff. If the legislation doesnt allow for that then change it and make the first case asap
The other side of it is distribution. If those 2 are underage then that person is surely guilty of distributing child pornography? Haul them into court and make an example.. the word wont be long going around that you are taking a chance with this stuff
The likes of WhatsApp should also be on the hook, their platform allows the likes of this stuff to go from a drunken mistake to thousands of people viewing within hours. They could moderate content but they couldn't be bothered.
The first and simplest step though is fellas not forwarding the videos when they get them
