Different laws everywhere, but I teach at a high school in Manitoba. And our entire school division will expel a kid (they won't be allowed to attend any of our schools) if the behaviour is bad enough.
Since I teach at a residential school, we deal with the child 24/7. We may part ways with a student if they are a harm to themselves, pose a threat to others, have uncontrollable drinking or drug problems, selling drugs, etc.
Even if a child commits a crime, we often give many chances before resorting to that sort of severe consequence.
A child that young probably has some significant issues that may explain that behaviour. Hopefully, someone can find the child some help and support.
