This is so tragic. What did anyone do that was so bad, to deserve this. His family must be devastated

That's rubbish, blu. I hope they see sense and fund your project.

I reported a site on utube about 3 weeks ago.............the video was filmed in a flat about 5 minute away from where i live. I gave the police the address of the site and told them if they watched it they would easily be able to work out which flat the footage was filmed in, it really is shocking. And yet i look today and the footage is still there it is shocking, there are guns, knives, & dogs on it. What more can i do...........I have been to the police about it, but nothing has been done??

There was something on panorama or similar about you tube videos and they said they remove them once they are reported but were found to be doing otherwise,

Exactly MB.
We work with lots of kids in PRUs, and if the investment is there, a lot of them are retrievable with the right input. It has to be intensive, it has to be rigorous...but there are so many micky-mouse tilting-at-targets ineffective projects run by hopeless council jobsworths.

And once they are out of reach, increased penalties etc mean nothing to them. All the gvt can come up with is 'more punishment'. they don't care. they can't ^see6 any other life, without help, and they just don't see prison coming until they are in it. Any enlighthened young person wuold be terrified of the idea of prison. They don't think about it, and / or they don't care because they can't envisage an alternative.

I could rant about this for hours and hours.

I still think YouTube should not be able to profit (as they do from ads etc) by displaying acts which are illegal. I am going to write to my MP about it.

Go to you tube and type in Huyton........tis the third one down, I have tried reporting it but nothing has happened!!

[stoppinattwo]

i wont link it as i dont want people to link to it by accident It makes me mad to watch it...........real shame on them

[Blu]

stoppin - if you know what block / street the flat is in (haven't watched it as i am loathe to add to youTube's 'hits' - the basis of their advertising fees..) then call crimestoppers anonymously. And give as many RL details as you can as well as the Youtube details.

[stoppinattwo]

That is what i did blu, I wrote down for then the exact instructions of how to assess the site........i was at an event with Nemo a few weeks ago and crimestoppers were there. i reported it.
