Do they want to remove it to prevent copycats, or do they want to prevent the loss of ‘face’?
Yeah, that’s the solution, bury the evidence and pretend to have done something. 😔
it’s amazing how much the “we can’t do anything about it” crowd is able to do when it comes to avoiding collective embarrassment instead of protecting kids getting bullied to the point of suicide
More worried about the defamation than the children…
where are the videos any sauces?
I saw a kid get knocked out on the street by another kid once.
Erasing video evidence of bullying doesn’t make the problem go away. Useless politicians; try asking for programs to actually help the victims next please.
This is obviously such an ingrained an ongoing issue that it’s been an ingrained part of every sort of darker slice of life anime I’ve ever seen.
Is it new or is it just being seen now?
Decades ago I had a junior high student out in the Japanese countryside whom this one mean teacher hated and was always bullying, hitting him in the head with his shoe and whatnot. This one day I heard a commotion in the hall and turned around just in time to see the kid socking the teacher right in the face. It was epic and entirely well-deserved, if not justifiable under the rules. The kid got away with it because everybody knew the teacher was riding him all the time.
Quick, hide the problem or we might have to face it!
What a great look. Streisand effect, anyone?
So instead of addressing the crime and problems happening, just demand it stay hidden. Idiots as always.
