Which is none.

He made a tape of himself and then left it on a shelf in the AV room at school. He is just as responsible for its dissemination as everybody else. If embarrassment by your peers in school were grounds of financial compensation then we'd all leave high school very rich.

For me there was that time in seventh grade when I was wearing a white pair of jeans and spilled some catsup on my lap. Just a spot but it was enough to produce torment from pretty much the entire school.

If I were his parents I wouldn't have sued I'd have told him to toughen up. But then I snickered at the image of a pedopsychiatrist so what do I know.
