Something happened and I want to know what you wise women think.
A boy (15) I know apparently has done something quite out of character: he and a friend (or friends?) were being obnoxious in class and the teacher threatened them with their grades. He's either too dumb or too lazy as a student and next year won't be at that school, so it won't affect him if his grades are bad.
Apparently, when the teacher was distracted, he stole her tablet-size laptop, took it outside, smashed it on the ground and threw it to the canal.
I personally think that this is pretty serious, I don't care if he did it alone or not, if there was group pressure or not. He stole from a teacher and destroyed it.
Here comes the thing: His mother was really worried and devastated at first, but the school's "educator" (something like a counselor) told her that it's not "that serious", just a teenager having a fit and not being able to handle frustration.
His father (I fucking despise him) laughed it off and said that "it's dumb childish shit".
If the teacher was to press charges, he's old enough to be held accountable. The value of what he stole and destroyed is almost 500€. That means that he would have a police record, go to court, and then do community services aside from paying for the laptop and paying a fine.
The school is being very lenient: he has to pay for the laptop and is expelled for 3 days. That's it.
His mother is relieved... And I don't know if I'm going to be able to burst her bubble after so many people downplayed the events. I think that this behaviour needs to be cut from the root, otherwise it may worsen if he sees that there are no consequences.
Am I in the wrong?

On Firefox I barely see any ads. I don't remember if I touched any option on my previous phone because it's been a while, but now you can use ad blockers on the phone version.

I don't know if I want to ask... But what is a brony? (I don't want to look it up)

I still use Facebook occasionally, mostly for crochet / cross stitch / DIY inspiration, and my impression is that most (if not all) handmade groups are captured, especially crochet/knit and embroidery/cross stitch ones.
I abandoned one due to their rabid hatred towards anything Harry Potter / JKR related. They demand that a "trigger warning" must be placed as the post itself and the photos of the item had to be in the comments. It was ridiculous to the point that a scarf in the right colors without the warning could have you banned.
But there was no "trigger warning" for items with "kill the terfs" on them.
On most groups there's a flood of trains flags (and whatever they call the all-in-one flag) every now and then and a bunch of they/thems whining in the comments when someone makes something HP related.

I have a male friend who studied to be something like a "geriatrics assistant nurse" (i don't know the correct term in English). He worked at a nursing home for a week, before the COVID started spreading and he was sent home, just days before the lockdown.
First day: He had to wake up a elderly woman... who was TERRIFIED of men.
He expressed his concerns and asked for other things to do but was told that he had to do it.
As you can imagine, when she saw him she started panicking, kicking and screaming and tried to get away from him, almost falling off the bed.
He complained to his supervisor and other staff, and all of them dismissed his complaint. Seems like some of them found it funny.
Yesterday, as we were on the phone talking about it, I told him that that's one of the reasons for same sex care and single sex wards. Men should not be working caring for women.
He asked (teasing me) "What if I identify as a woman", so I told him that he would still be a man AND a dick.
[He told me that he finds the self ID shit so dumb that he can't believe how is it possible that so many people believe in it. I said that it's a cult.]
I told him about some of the cases of elderly and disabled women who have been raped in nursing homes and clinics by male workers/doctors/nurses/caregivers. And that I will send him all the receipts.
Maybe that poor woman who was terrified of men was a victim of a previous caregiver.

In the late 90's or very early 00's there was a local TV channel broadcasting porn on Friday nights, and it wasn't even that late (maybe Saturdays at 1 AM), and satellite channel Canal+ that also broadcasted porn on Saturday nights (more like Sundays around 1 AM too), but encrypted.
There was also another regional channel that had something like a hook-up message board (people sent SMS to a premium number with a little description of what they were and what they were looking for) and the background was a porn video. At the beginning it was a woman doing mild erotic moves, bit of striping, but as time went by it was more explicit sex.
My male classmates would record (on VHS tapes) the local and regional channels' films and share the tapes.
The day they discovered that I was able to record whatever that was broadcast on C+ (because I had the VHS between the decoder and the TV) they began a campaign of harassment with bribery attempts, and even threats to make me record the films for them.
I refused to do it. We were around 12-13 y.o.
A couple years later porn was everywhere. I remember downloading a Disney movie with emule and it was porn. It happened time and time again.
