I don't think intent really matters here, only the result.
Its like firing a warning shot that hits and kills someone.
You might not have the intention of killing someone yet you did and now your being dealt with based on that.
I didn't read the story closely, but did the school approach the parents before this went to court and explain to them the damage that their son did?
