100%

But who's fault is that if he doesn't at 14. Is that on him or is that his surroundings and upbringing?

My point this entire time was that the focus should be on education, and making him understand why it was wrong.

I just don't think it's right to hold something that happens at 14 over somebody for the rest of their life. I don't think that does any good for society and think it actually just means it's more likely that he becomes resentful and hateful and then passes that on to his kids.

He was punished by Ohio courts. He lost his scholarship. He's had to answer to the court of public opinion. It's not like there have been no repercussions.
