These girls are going to have their lives ruined because fake porn with their faces doesn't disappear from the internet. This could follow them for the rest of their lives. Where is the justice for them?
I am in no way trying to downplay the hurt and pain something like that causes. As a dude, I don't think I can ever really be able to know what that feels like, but I can recognize it and empathize with it. No one deserves to go through and live with something like that. It totally sucks, I agree.
However, what exactly is destroying another child's life going to solve? Is it going to make that child stop doing the thing they were punished for? Maybe, but the US recidivism rates beg to differ (44% within the first year). So what then? Is it just to make us feel good, being happy to watch another person get hurt, justified by this made up concept of 'justice'? That's the more likely answer, IMO.
There are much more constructive ways to prevent this from happening again that doesn't require marking a child as an "undesirable" for the rest of their life. I can't necessarily point to what that might look like, maybe enforced counseling to try and teach someone like that why what they did caused so much harm.
Ultimately, what I am trying to say is that someone like this should be held accountable for their actions, but enforcing suffering from the state is not an effective or moral way to do it.
