OP
Thanks for this - a video apology isn't a genuine apology. It needs to be made directly

Once, long ago, there were people called "parents" who taught children this nugget

to the person that was wronged. A sad by-product of the "selfie nation" mentality.

of wisdom. Sadly, they seem to have renounced their child-rearing responsibilities in favor of spoiling their children.
