Children are treated differently by the law because they haven't yet matured enough to be able to make adult decisions.
That's how it is, and rightly so.
It's fine to be upset by the video. I was too, from the few seconds I watched. To wish any sort of harm on the child is hypocrisy. You either want to see things get harmed or you don't. There's no picking and choosing.

But Jahled in particular...
...and many others here, have not expressed any desire to see the child suffer, merely be made aware of the consequences of his actions and taught that this is not an appropriate way to behave.
There's no hipocrisy in that.
but I'll grant you, it seems many people would like to see him beaten
