@cg5154 - I can see why you regret that it escalated so much, but still - good on you for taking the little fool to task. While I don't think that what he did was somehow the beginnings of an inexorable spiral into becoming a knife-toting drug-dealing hoody-wearing Daily Mail nightmare, I do think kids do so much crap these days because they get away with so much, because most people are intimidated by them. So, as I said, good on you for teaching the kid that his actions have consequences.
