This kind of mindless rule-following drives me up the wall! Unlike the kid they've punished, the adults certainly have the power to fight the system if it comes down on them for not upholding the rules.
If that nurse treated the boy with the respect and admiration an upstanding member of the human race deserves, instead of punshing him like a drug offender, she would have gained the support of so many people if the book was thrown at her...
But now, even the boy himself is afraid... He would never repeat the good deed out fear of being sent to jail for it. This is just sad.
