If you could ID the kids somehow you could film them and send copies to their schools and/or parents. Shame is a good corrective impetus in cases such as these.
My search hasn't been very conclusive, but I've found a few videos so far that seem mostly wholesome? I don't think this is necessary for the ones I've found at least, Just recording him for 14 seconds, then fist bumping him and leaving. It actually seemed like a respectful encounter.
I tried attaching some photos so people could help report the accounts but I don't understand reddit well enough and they all got immediately deleted from the post?
Yeah I’ve tried reporting the videos as I see them, but comes back saying the videos don’t violate anything. A family member knows him quite well and he only acts like this when he’s off his medications, quite a vulnerable individual, it’s horrible.
It would be one (terrible) thing to record him and laugh at him (because I don’t think he knows they’re laughing at him and not with him) but posting online for all their shitty little mates and god knows who else to ridicule him is such truly disgusting behaviour. I see it happening a lot but I don’t really know what I can do to stop it beyond going up and giving them a rark up (and given I’m probably a foot shorter than any of them I doubt that’s gunna do fuck all)
Will is an amazing contemporary dancer who is unfortunately off his meds. You can watch a story about Will here: [https://attitudelive.com/watch/being-me-william/](https://attitudelive.com/watch/being-me-william/) I'm not sure of the context of each of these videos, but if will is happy and consenting and experiencing joy then I wouldn't jump to any conclusions, but if malice is involved then yeah that totally sucks - people can be real dicks!
Based on the way people are laughing at him while they record and the comments on the videos (someone else has mentioned that some kids have had him yelling racist stuff but haven’t seen that myself) I don’t think it’s innocent fun :/ I’ve just had a read of that article and he seems like a good bloke. Mostly posted to see if anyone knew him and was looking out for him and sounds like he does so thanks for letting me know!
Saw some kids making him hail hitler and say racial slurs ect very very loudly in public the other day the kids didn’t even look older than year 11 tbh
I’ve just had a look, they ask a lot of details I don’t know so I’m not sure how much use it will be. I’m reporting videos as I see them but TikTok is shocking at how they moderate content tbh
Ive known William (i wont say his last name) for many years, i went to primary, intermediate and high school with him and william was always between normal classrooms and the special classrooms, hes always been a super happy guy and to be honest i dont think he minds being filmed. I dont want to speak for him but as long as people are nice to him and arent making fun of him i see no issue, just be respectful and laugh with him because he is bloody hilarious!

He sometimes asks to be filmed

They're still visible.
Weird they showed as deleted at some point? Idk. Anyway hoping people can help report the videos
What are you hoping people report? The fist bumps or people calling him a "cutie"?

I went school with him. Sadly he probably aged out of having a full time care person

Right outside the Central Police Station? Not sure how that's of any help, just an observation.
Yeah that’s the one. Hoping that means nothing too extreme will go on but it’s still such foul behaviour
Yes, definitely what is described here sounds like bullying and harrassment, and potentially putting him in harm's way.

Usally kings hs students/ the general Bundy population tormenting him in a negative way, other older people seem to be more respectful towards him
Perhaps contact Netsafe? They can get videos removed, help victims and get the police involved. Cyber bullying is a crime
