I hope they don't win, and I hope they have to pay all legal fee's. Because their son filmed himself doing some pretty dumb stuff, and it got onto the internet, the parents of that child are trying to put the other children's parents into deep, deep debt for the rest of their lives.
'Star Wars Kid' True Star Wars Kid?

I think it'd teach some people to teach their kids better. It reminds me of something some girls did at my school... They secretly got pics of a girl they didn't like having sex with someone who they had a crush on. Pissed off about it, they posted the pictures ALL over the school. The girl ended up having to drop out because of the embarassment. I didn't like the girl personally, but when I saw the look on her face it made me feel really bad for her. The girls that did that to her were known for doing crap like that all the time.
Besides, if the parents are forced to shell out cash, they're more likely to punish the hell out of their bratty kids that put the video on the internet. Boot camp!!! WOOT!

The kid also had to go to therapy, Kas, and I believe also had to change schools. They're probably already in deep debt and its the fault of a group of kids who did something intentionally malicious. That's pretty much the definition of what people are supposed to sue one another for.
Eh. When that video of me and Hyfe wound up on Kazaa, I just shrugged it off and completed my sex change. Suing people seemed frivelous.
I had nothing to be ashamed of.
Not to mention the legal side of it. That being the fact that those kids posted copyrighted material to the internet without permission... that's illegal, kids.
I would agree that something needs to be done, but financially crippling two families for the rest of their lives because their kids posted a video on the internet is going way too far.
I mean, dang, he's the Star Wars Kid. Everyone has seen the Star Wars Kid. If you moved some grey matter you could make some serious money off of being the SWK. It’s not like what those other kids did to him has made him a paraplegic or something.

If I were SWK Id be pleased as hell to be getting so much attention over waving a stick around. "Im so great, I shake a stick in the air and the world recognizes." Anyways, I once recorded on computer a schoolmate I didn't like picking his nose and wiping it on the inside of his coat (A coat he wore EVERY DAY). Doesn't mean I should be sued...
You gotta think though, this kid might not be one of the most popular kids in school. When someone posted this embarassing video on the internet of him, it was like someone depantsing him in public. Severe traumatic experience= therapy= tons of bills that need to be paid for.
Seriously, if I had evidence and what not I would have sued the people that traumatized me in school. Teasing has long lasting effects on people. If I had not of been teased I bet I would have turned out way different... Hell, if I stayed in Louisiana instead of moving to New York(thanks a hell of a lot mom) I'd be a cheerleader and popular cuz no one teased me in Louisiana.
Some people even get severely depressed due to teasing, and in worst cases, commit suicide. Those two kids are lucky they didn't cause that boy to kill himself. If I were in his shoes I would have wanted to just disappear too. The whole world has seen him doing something that he thinks is embarassing. No matter how cool a lot of people think it is, he doesn't think it is. And it hurts him. So those little bastards need to pay. And the way the law works today, the parents have to pay.
But if I had it my way I'd send the little bastards to boot camp or publicly humiliate them as well... Like drag them out into Times Square and give everyone in NYC a tomato to throw at them. Leave them there drenched in the tomato juices for 24 hours and then finally write in permanent marker on their faces "Moron" and "Loser".
A lot of parents nowadays have a lot to do with the way their kids behave though... Some people are too lazy to punish their kids for hurting another person. And they don't put it into their heads that teasing isn't right either. My mom put the fear of God in me and said I'd burn in hell is I teased anyone so I turned out nice. :D You gotta scare your kids straight... lmao It's the only way. Not saying beat them cuz that doesn't work. Makes them into murderers and rapists and psychopaths... o.O

Alright...I LARP so that might be why I don't see what SWK is doing being so bad :). Personally, if someone got a small video clip of me LARPing and put it to the public then I wouldn't feel so bad...especially if I was offered a part in the eventual Hobbit movie comming out. Actually, they did put a video of me LARPing to the public for a documentary for the Toronto Film Festival. *shrugs*
But even when I thought LARPing to be one of those 'Hey, look how bad I could get.' situations, I still joked around pretending I was using a lightsaber every now and then. Most kids do it. The only problem is that he was mocked for it.
If I was SWK, I would sue the people who did it because they did it without my permission. Then I would commercialism the crap out of myself. Then send some money to Asia or something for good PR and more money! SWK merchandising. Maybe even one of those biography movies. And then when I'm rich, I buy a small African country and rule with an iron fist until I'm couped in a bloody uprising.
