Bullying is a terrible act that can have lasting mental effects on individuals, causing more harm than one can fathom. It is crucial for everyone witnessing bullying to step in and take action.
A recent incident in New Jersey exemplifies the devastating impact of bullying on children, particularly those with diagnoses or disabilities.
A distressing video was shared online, depicting the humiliation endured by a child. Fortunately, the perpetrators of this bullying did not escape unpunished.
Filming how they pull his pants down
Over the past weekend, a disturbing video was uploaded to TikTok, rapidly making its way across the internet.
The video captured teenagers pulling down the pants and underwear of an autistic boy in a humiliating display.
Due to the reckless actions of the teenagers who shared the video, the police were able to identify the individuals responsible for this disgraceful act.
Four teenagers (aged 19, 16, 13, and 10) are currently under suspicion. As per police sources, the youngest among them was the one who pulled down the autistic boy’s clothing. The 13-year-old restrained the victim in a headlock to prevent escape, while the other two recorded the incident and laughed callously.
4 children guilty
Accounts from various sources reveal the evident panic and tears of the autistic boy, clearly aware of the humiliation he was enduring.
The older teens proceeded to share the video on platforms like Snapchat and TikTok, although it was later removed and is no longer accessible to the public.
Authorities are actively investigating the incident captured in the video.
These teenagers are facing allegations of privacy violation and assault.
Harsher penalties needed
Following the incident, discussions on Twitter emphasized the necessity for stricter penalties in such cases.
“Ooookaaay. THE ADULT WOMAN, IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL HER ONE, NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP AND CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ABUSE FOR LIFE IF OTHERS FIND THIS AMUSING,” voiced Richard F, garnering support from fellow Twitter users.
