They likely would never had to explain themselve anyway. The fact the device is found doesn't mean the prankster would get caught. It is not like they will look for fingerprints and ADN for a small prank.
- neilv 3y agoUnless the parent complains to TV news, who get B-roll of the McDonald's playground and Disney and other symbols of American childhood wholesomeness, and spin a narrative about some cyber-predator using computer hackery to reach out and traumatize children. A predator who apparently was physically at the location, possibly returning frequently to observe reactions to their prank, and who knows what all their intentions. Then they might become a priority to catch. But my point wasn't that they'd get caught, but that those who were only (non-sociopath) pranksters would feel bad, when they started to realize that pranks can have serious unintended effects for themselves and others. Few teens would intentionally show goatse to a young child. The prankster just didn't think this one through, past "wouldn't it be funny if someone saw goatse due to a clever hack of mine", past the misdirected teen impulses to stir things up.
