I just couldn't find the words to describe how I feel after reading this article honestly, what a world we live in really. What shocked me the most is the age of that boy and the fact that 40 people was watching without reporting it or calling the authorities.

It's terrible of course that the world is so degraded. They behave worse than animals and consider it normal. The modern generation has fewer moral values and morals.

Is there anyway that the ones who watched but didn't report be identified, They should be all arrested and charge for being accessory to rape.

Whats the background of the perpetrators?
I cannot find any infos regarding them except that one guy is 15.

[darkangel11]

There's really not much info in this article.
He faces charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault, manufacturing of child pornography, and dissemination of child pornography.
This would suggest that this was a rape, because the streamed evidence counts as child porn, but there's no mention of it in the article. How did the attack end? Did someone intervene or did the victim managed to flee? Are they afraid to release more information? The media these days are becoming so liberal and afraid of releasing as little as the perpetrator's race.

In America there is a rule to close information about juvenile offenders. This is done to ensure that their future is not affected by the sins of the past. I am against this approach, but it is probably for this reason, information can not be found.

It's not shocking nowadays to see such videos. Such creeps just take videos of women being beaten up or assaulted and upload it live for fame and then people on the roads just watch the molesters without even blinking their eye. Nobody even has the courage or humanity to report these crimes and then others talk about the police and the law not taking any harsh steps against such criminals.

[countryfree]

I don't understand the young generations.
I certainly don't support it, but I somehow understand how a man could want to rape a woman, but why filming it, and streaming it?

I hope that when in jail, there will be people to teach him what's a rape is really like. From the other side, I mean.

[HabBear]

So f*cked up.

And the victim is getting death threats?! And this isn't even the first time something like this has haooened this year. It's the kids and the parents that should be blmed. Maybe harsher penalties are in order?

[Tesorex]

It seems like none of you know there is an underground market for such things, people actually pay thousands of dollars to watch such obscene videos.
Then they say why did God created hell?

[Mometaskers]

If this news is true, this is just sickening. 40 people watched the stream and didn't even think of calling for help. What has this world gone to? Considering this is a minor, what penalty would he receive?

This reminded me of that video of 4 teens abusing a mentally-ill guy, it seem that it's becoming more common for them to brazenly advertise their hatred and contempt for others while desensitized people just watch the spectacle.

BTW, was that abuse video also taken in Chicago? Whatever happened to the place? I don't live in the US but I don't remember hearing Chicago as a dangerous place when I was a kid.

Heck, they're more likely to reveal the victim's identity first before that of the criminal's. Especially if the criminal is some sort of "minority" that they feel need to be "protected".

Coming from somebody named "JofryTheKing" on this forum in particular, I wouldnt be suprised, if you didnt know anything about topic, that you are writing about.

This is not "the world", it is facebook stream. And I dont even know, what is supposedly the "modern" generation. Anybody younger than you Jofrey? Minorities? People who use stream?

Internet has nasty habit of lending its users mistaken feelings of anonymity and with it invincibility. Of course, it is not so. The young criminal in the article have already found out.

Is there anyway that the ones who watched but didn't report be identified, They should be all arrested and charge for being accessory to rape.

That should be the case. Since the perpetrator is just 14 years old, most probably he will be let off with a warning. Else, the human rights activists such as Rev. Pussy Jackson will accuse the cops of being racist and take out protest rallies and marches.

I am afraid you are right. Authorities do not seem so concerned about "privacy rights" of criminals, who come from within native, majority population.

I wouldnt be suprised either if perpetrator got away with psychological care at clinic. Liberals are more concerned about feelings of criminals, than justice for victims and victim families.

The world is starting to be devoid or moral conscience and responsibility towards other people. Personal gain and greed has taken over people have evolved into a public oriented individual to a self serving individual. This is brought to us by economic, economics teaches us profits and income but doesnt teach us moral obligation over peoples dignity, rights and respect to all life forms and environment.

The rate of teen sexual assault is increasing globally. I don't understand why one will rape a little girl were there are alot of harlots on the street if you most have sex. The most amazing is that about forty people watch it stream online without their consent alert them that that little girl is going through the most evil from his fellow human beings and not animals or spirit.

A lot of the kids these days have been exposed to the society where it's okay to have that nudity just being exposed to the internet, and it's so easy to access pornographic content, and if they are curious about the things, they can quickly search it. That could cause the kids to have a mental connection on how that works and maybe wants to take it to the extreme. I just hope that the generation could get better and a lot of kids that have compassion for the world we live in appears.

You don’t know why they did not report it, I don’t know exactly the contents of what was streamed but maybe they did not believe it was real or maybe when they were watching no illegal act was being committed yet, so it is not as easy as you think.

People usually don't know what to do in such situation and they don't want to get involved. One call and you might end up being traced, asked to come for a questioning, write and sign a statement, who knows on what "invigilation list" you'll end up. I know it's not right to watch a girl being assaulted, but if I saw that on random, not knowing what I clicked on, I'd think they're making a prank video like one of those where youtubers pretend to be attacked to see if people react and help the victim.

I hope some of his buddies streamed the arrest.
