My verdict on that - GOOD! [...]

He should have payed more attention to bringing his kids up to be better than that.
Yes and no... sometimes parents do the best they can, and kids still behave like... well, kids. I'm not excusing their actions for one second, but at that age, their brains just don't work like those of adults. Any parents of teenagers can vouch for this, I'm sure.

Now, I like to think that my son would never behave this way, and I can't tell you how punished he would be if it came out that he did, but I don't think that either the kids or their families should be harassed- that just perpetuates it.

That doesn't mean that I think the kids should get off scott-free, not by any means. I think spending their summer doing community service might teach them a better lesson than death threats.
