The feelings that are triggered after watching these types of videos

Protesters push, shove, and yell obscenities at each other. A young refugee's body washes up on the shore. A bus driver is bullied while students cheer. A man commits suicide. 

These aren't scenes from a videogame. Thanks to live-streaming apps such as Facebook Live, live.ly, Periscope, and others kids can watch actual scenes of real-life violence in their social media and news feeds. And these videos are unlike anything anyone has ever seen before.
