I'm not condoning his actions in any way shape or form.
I did say earlier, however, that counselling and taking the pet away would be the best course of action and I stand by that.
Trying to destroy the little shit's future by getting him a jail sentence is plenty malicious in itself and is not what a good person would do.
Anyone that joined in on this lynch mob needs to take a good hard look in the mirror.

I'm glad the cops are now involved, and not some news story of some vigilante massacre of an entire family
hopefully a sensible outcome can emerge. Whilst it's people's gut instincts to express their desire to inflict physical harm on the child, vengeance is hardly the best policy to follow.
They both need medical help. Dusty probably needs a permanent holiday

You make a very valid point
BUT
while there's a difference between wishing violence on someone and being responsible for violence on someone, anyone that facilitates said violence is at least partly responsible.
This kid will be locked up in a place where for some reason rape is acceptable. He'll have no job prospects when he gets out and will have spent his formative years in a place filled with violence and sexual abuse.
Dusty will be ok with the right amount of love and I'm sure there are plenty of willing families he could join.

I'd be surprised if he faces much jail time, if at all

kids beat the shit out of each other all the time
big kids beat up little kids, little kids get their big brothers to beat up the big kids, eventually everyone grows up and moves on.
JAIL FOR EVERYONE

How exactly would he receive the counselling you recommend
and how exactly would the cat be rescued and given a loving home if everyone who witnessed the video didn't do all they could do track down and notify the relevant authorities?
edit: he wouldn't receive counselling without getting arrested. Almost certainly they won't see the inside of a jail cell and will instead get counselling and/or community service
