What do you suggest; is a simple hanging okay, or should we be talking full-on crucifixion, here? /s
I’m all for this kid getting a life lesson out of this, but my guess is that he probably already has, especially if he’s aware of the extent of the damage he’s caused. That guilt will never go away.
If anyone believes that additional, physical or monetary punishment would be more effective, they’ve never been in real psychological pain. Physical wounds heal, and you can pretty much always make more money.
Psychological damage is with you for life.
They just mentioned on fox that this kid was under 10. He was playing with the matches in his back yard when the wind caught it.
Playing with matches in a place like Agua Dulce when winds are gusting up to 100 mph is not okay. Everybody needs to be made aware of this, including kids.
