Where does it say his age? I'm not one to defend this kind of behavior, but this probably isn't an example of kids today being any more messed up than in the past. There is a good chance that this "kid" is a teenager, not a young tot. And honestly I don't think this is anything new. The only thing "new" is the technology that allowed him to distribute his obnoxious act to a wider audience. I do think it is worthwhile to consider the potential consequences of the two edges of technology, but that is another topic altogether...
