"Videotape"
I found this story interesting in multiple ways. I don't think the chance of a young girl playing with a video camera and coincidentally catching a murder on tape is very likely in the real world. However, it does, in fact, bring to mind the realization that violence is all around us in the world today. I am sure that any incident remotely similar to this one would scar a child with images, noises, and thoughts that they should not even comprehend at such a young age. And sadly, in more parts of the world that we may think, children witness violence on a regular basis. Toward the end, the film was played many times over and over for no real purpose. I can only assume that the people are drawn to the story of the film, which is primarily violence and crime.

I agree with you in saying that witnessing a traumatic event like this would scar a child for life. However, like you said it is highly unlikely that a tragedy of this magnitude would be captured on tape by an adolescent. This story does reinforce the fact that violence is all around us today.
