MODERATORS
Beats clinging to a victim mentality imo.
A "victim mentality" is a personality trait which makes people feel universally victimized.
How is that applyable here? These kids were targeted for a crime and, in fact, victimized by their peers or possibly even adults.
What would actually beat leaving people alone who were blackmailed and had their privacy and dignity compromised like that, would be hefty punishment for the perpetrators. Those are the people you should look at with scrutinity, instead of concentrating on how the victims should behave.
That would in no way helps the victims tho.
Actually it does. For example by showing that people care and do not just let the behaviour slide as "boys will be boys".
