The Punishment Fits the Crime

An 8-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon after he allegedly threatened fellow students at Frank Silvia School Tuesday with what turned out to be a toy gun, the police said.
I guess spanking him and making him apologize and do extra chores for a week would have been too simple.

It probably would have been. These days, there's a great chance he comes from a home with no dad, and he's probably been on Ritalin for several years by now because, being tax slaves, who has the time to give kids the intensive attention that they need...? Besides--isn't that the school's job?
