Another added: “So young to be having a record,” another said. “Good job on the moms for turning them in though!”
Clean-up duty
Others went further, suggesting the pre-teens should be required to clean up the damage themselves as part of their punishment.
“Assign them the library repair every day to clean up their mess from putting books back on the shelves to cleaning every nook and corner,” suggested one netizen.
“They should have to go clean it up during school hours so everyone can see,” another suggested.
For the boys, the vandalism has brought not only criminal charges but also public scrutiny. Their mothers’ decision to step forward has been hailed as an example of tough but necessary parenting – a reminder that accountability starts at home.
