Just a heads up, they show some actual beating around 3:00.  Before that is small amount of the grand mother's verbal tirade and the news people analyzing the video.  

 

I'm happy the people were arrested.  For some reason I thought this might actually be legal, I suppose it might be in some states besides Michigan.

I won't watch the video.

 

I would've loved as a child for ANYBODY to behave as if my parents' abuse wasn't normal or righteous. I'm really sorry that that kid was subjected to this, but I'm very glad he gets to see that it is considered to be atrocious.
