mad evil found out today someone has gotten hold of a mobile phone vid of my son and posted it on you tube.....
not a prob in itself, it was a vid he made of himself that was on his phone...of him acting like a pillock.....someo borrowed his phone to look through his music and saw the vid, and bluetoothed it (unknown to son) to his own phone, and its found its way round his school and onto you tube......
what has made me soooooooooo angry are the comments left under the vid....personal ones about my son, regarding a problem that he has called non retentive encopresis. Hes just a week shy of turning 16
The comments are hateful, vile and very upsetting and he is being so mature about it and didnt tell me cos he doesnt want me upset with being preggers.
The internet is a wonderful thing, but by god its expanded the scope of bullying a hell of a lot! :evil:
am I right in thinking that this kind of stuff is illegal now?

Yes it is illegal of it causes, or is intended to cause; fear, emotional pain or humiliation. If this happened while at school - the person who 'stole' the vid can be dealt with via the school. It should be no problem to get YouTube to delete it.
Whether it's worth pursuing is up to you. Maybe rising above it is the best revenge?
I feel for your son - and am very impressed with his maturity. <hugs>

Anything in the wrong hands can be turned into something nasty, and that includes the internet.
EVERY computer has a unique IP address which can be traced, and I would suggest you contact you tube and complain in the strongest of ways.
People have to make a stand or the people who posted this could possibly do it again, but in a much more serious nature.

Sorry but thats not strictly true, some internet service providers route all their traffic through gateways and its the IP address of the gateway the rest of the internet sees. It doesn't stop people being traced but it does require the cooperation of the service provider. The best example of a service provider who use gateways is AOL.

Im so sorry to hear of this upset for you and your family.
I would report it to the site hosts, explain what has happened and ask them to remove the video.
I think you should act to show your son that he has your total support. Very important at such an age.
Best wishes

My daughter has been a victim of cyber bullying I think parents should take so much care in knowing what sites your children use and who they are talking too.
I knew my daughter had msn and I have kept a close eye on who she talks to and accepts onto her contact list. I also have her name on my msn so I can see when she is online but have it blocked my end so she doesn’t see me. A few times she has signed in when I know she has no way of being online as she has been out with family.
I have since found out she had given her friend her log in details and this friend posing as my daughter (who is just 12) has been saying sexual things to boys at school who my daughter has on her contact list.
I feel with a lot of chat sites children think they know what they are doing but some have the innocence of not totally understanding this media.
I have taught my children safe internet use, but the whole internet is to complex for them to totally understand the dangers too.
I have also found out unknown to me she had set up a face book profile with all her details. I have decided to ban my children from chatting online until they are 16+ and have deleted all their accounts
If they need to chat with friends I bought a mobile with a £20 a month contract with 3000 roll over minutes, they can use that to chat instead.

I know I've posted this before but it is such a useful site:

I would urge anyone who has children to check it out and then to show their children the site. It has different sections aimed at varying ages and aims to inform children about online safety.
It is run by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection unit of the police.
The issues about giving out log in details and not knowing how to report things that happen online etc are such common problems.
I know it perhaps doesn't address the original post, but I feel very strongly it is a valuable site for parents and children to be aware of.

p.s. Mrs B, hope things are okay for your son and, as others have said, I would get You Tube to remove the video. If he knows who has posted the video - or likely suspects - then I would probably contact school too.
