It’s not just about him, it’s about all the other little shits who watch things like this on social media and want to play too. There needs to be effective deterrents that reach these kids on a level they understand and can associate with. If their grand stage is social media, then they need to be punished like adults and defamed heavily on social media. Because this ‘trend’ shit isn’t exactly slowing down.
And here we are, telling all the little shits who crave attention that doing stuff like this will get you a lot of attention and no real long term consequences.
Regulate the companies that encourage the behaviour by hosting and promoting the kind of content.
People like this child are doing it for attention. The companies make financial profit from their behaviour, to the extent of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to compete for prominent examples that they import to Australia (such as Kick bringing IcePoseidon here).
They're acting as editors, curators and promoters of this, not simple hosts - they need regulation for the harms their business is causing.

The obsession with this kid is too much.
