We have all done things in our lives that we are exceptionally embarassed about. I have had the misfortune and displeasure of seeing both tubgirl and goatse. I suppose that they have both had second afterthoughts about letting themselves get in that sort of photographic situation (and I sincerely hope that they have both received help for their obvious mental and physical problems). The difference here is that they were adults who CHOSE to do what they did. From what I understand, the people who initially distributed SWK did it with cruelty and with the intention of humiliating and embarassing the kid in question, and I hope they get what's coming to them.
I agree with previous posters, though. No amount of money will help this kid right now. Just being teased about some mundane, silly thing as a kid hurts like hell, but being humiliated in front of the world like this is quite another level of pain that he certainly didn't deserve. Unfortunately, he will suffer from this damage for the rest of his life unless he can find a way to get past it.
