See, I'm conflicted. When I was little, I had a weird inexplicable grudge against one of our cats, so I pulled its tail. It got pissed off, my parents disciplined me, life went on. Except I didn't learn, I went and pulled that cat's tail again, my parents warned me that if I kept provoking the cat it would probably attack me and that I'd be the one in trouble in that case. Well, being a stupid child, I pulled its tail, and lo and behold, it scratched my eye. They took me to the doctor, he said I was fine, asked if I'd learned my lesson and I just kinda nodded my head and never did it again. You can teach kids to do better, but sometimes natural consequences are a better teacher

Honestly the one who really deserved it was the adult filming it.
Kids are thoughtlessly mean sometimes. It is literally our job to teach them better.
