Panorama showed on Tuesday the huge amount of child violence being posted on YouTube. The Google run company repsonded that they have '0' employees in charge of vetting such videos and it was the 'YouTube' communitie's resposibilitiy to 'flag' and remove such videos.
So the next morning I searched and found 5 school/street fight videos online and flagged them as "Inappropriate".
Google, and YouTube have said they will review them usually in 20 minutes of flagging.
2 days later and all 5 videos are still on line.
One of these I found was from Middlesbrough. Makes you proud!.
If you do take a look make sure you click the flag as "Inappropriate" button below, if we click it enough times maybe the 1 employee might get a 'heads-up'.
But I would suggest you don't watch. God I sound like Panorama.
The second one is the lovely Boro one.

I have done as you request, but your YouTube links could do with some text in your anchor tag.
A lot of this "kids fighting on the internet" brouhaha wouldn't be much of a story if you removed the words "on the internet", as kids have fought since the beginning of time.
