Police investigation remains open. The photo of one of the minors included a fly; that is the logo of Clothoff, the application that is presumably being used to create the images, which promotes its services with the slogan: “Undress anybody with our free service!”

The number of people offering practical solutions instead of knee jerk feels... oh the humanity!

Demanding people to just accept that this will happen and they just shouldn't feel bad about it is not a practical solution.

Because this is not a solution for the people who are actually victimized. It's just a solution for the people around those who are victimzed, so that they don't need to change anything or talk (or listen) about it.

Beats clinging to a victim mentality imo.

A "victim mentality" is a personality trait which makes people feel universally victimized.

How is that applyable here? These kids were targeted for a crime and, in fact, victimized by their peers or possibly even adults.

What would actually beat leaving people alone who were blackmailed and had their privacy and dignity compromised like that, would be hefty punishment for the perpetrators. Those are the people you should look at with scrutinity, instead of concentrating on how the victims should behave.

That would in no way helps the victims tho.

Actually it does. For example by showing that people care and do not just let the behaviour slide as "boys will be boys".
