This kid is not grown up yet. He's still learning and obviously his parents are still teaching. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson.
In the end we are all responsible for our own actions. That kid is responsible for his own actions. Sometimes kids just never learn, some are slow learners, some are terribly stubborn. I had a stronger will than my mother. VERY strong will. My mother was very strict. I still screwed up at times.
This sends a strong message to a boy who's just testing the limits of his newfound Puberty. It's good they're doing it now at 13. By 15 my brother hadn't been taught this and wrecked such havoc until he was 21 and got kicked out of my parents house.
I hope he learns his lesson.
If this is just a story - no big deal. I will have to keep this "teaching" method in mind when my daughter hits her teens and starts pushing the limits.
