Without the outrage, the local authorities wouldn't have done shit. Not to mention that animal cruelty charges are often minor and result in no punishment, especially for children.
As for his parents, that's part of being a parent. We are held to be responsible for our kids actions. Fair or not, that's the duty you take on as a parent.
And you forget that it's not like someone walked into his backyard and caught him doing this in private. This is a kid who posted the video on YouTube in an attempt to brag and show off. He is the one that thought animal cruelty was funny. When you post something online in public, don't get upset when people see it and have opinions on it.
