Not punished. Again, taking away a priviledge is not a punishment.
The quote was meant (and I think it was clear) as:
"you're on your own girl!"
Sincerely, your government.

Charities. People can help whoever their want and support any irresponsible teen activity they want - with their own money.

Again, who's punished? I think you are throwing this term around quite loosely. The kid is entitled to my tax money? Why, how?
