The boy cried out “Sorry, I won’t do it again, please” several times throughout the video.
At one point, another person asked the boy to remove his pants.

One of the bullies alleged in the video that the boy had said something about someone’s mother.
“Don’t you also have a mother?” the bully questioned.
As investigations are ongoing, it is unclear what caused the incident.
