I see but I'm not going to watch it.
What I was getting at is that there's not much of a plausible scenario in which this type of behavior is eradicated unless it's cut out at the source. The only feasible way that'll happen is through proper parenting, IMO. Fear of punishment shouldn't really be the ultimate factor in why a person decides to do good. You've got to get them at a young age and instill good values, morals and judgment.
The kid in the video is obviously lacking that. Police and Child Protective Service intervention is probably the last thing he needs. Some love, attention and guidance would likely go a long way as well as, potentially, some professional therapy or counseling.
But where you came in is just not something that can likely happen. Legally speaking, you can't discipline someone else's kids (which is likely why no one stepped in), you can't really punish parents for doing a shitty job, and you certainly can't make them punish their own kids. It's just not the way the world works.
