It's a fucking news video. What is the problem with it being on youtube?

ETA AJ, I think this might be the first time we've actually agreed on something!

They won't remove it because it's making them money, it's public record (the public is welcomed by authorities to view it), and the girls deserve to be embarrassed. A couple of angry parents doesn't mean anything to YouTube. Why would you want it off?

Haha I think you're right! YAY!!! WE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING! It's a big day.

I am not talking about the news video, god. I am talking about the actual beating video, Why would I have a problem with that one?

If the parents are so upset about this maybe they should have done a bit more to raise less horrible children.

The news video has the actual video of the girl being beat in it!

Even if they were seperate I don't see a reason to take it down unless requested by the victim's parents.

But there is a big difference.

And whether the parents raised them well or not, people know right from wrong. And no doubt what they did was wrong. But sure keeping the video up embarrasses the 8 teens but it also embarrasses the one who got beat up.

I am not blaming youtube, don't get me wrong, but they should take off the original especially if you can see it in this news video.

Are the girl's parents requesting it be taken down? That is the only reason for removing it. Even then it shouldn't be removed just edited to remove the video of her being beaten.

It doesn't matter who it embarasses, it is public record and should not be censored.

Then what's the point? How is the news video any less embarrassing to the girl than the original video? And even if they take it down, it will be reuploaded again in like 5 seconds.

I'm going to assume that you are talking to me. Editing it wouldn't reduce any embarrassment but thats not the point. I could see editing it because they didn't want people watch their child be beaten. It's a matter of privacy. I have no idea why the girl was beaten up but whatever it was even she deserves the right to a bit of privacy if that's what she and her parents want. Youtube shouldn't be coerced into editing or deleting it but it would nice of them if to do so if requested. That said, editing wouldn't do any good. People have it saved and the original will just keep going around and be even more popular because of the censorship.
