It affects everyone. It affects the kids that do the beating and the parents that are involved or complicit. There's no one that remains unaffected by a society that condones violence like that. Which is, really, a huge point. That's why we have sports. If you want violence, watch football or hockey. If you want it that bad, play Grand Theft Auto IV and run over everyone and shoot people. But to take it out on at-risk children is sickening and it makes everyone involved lose a piece of themselves.
