I guess it's tough to find a middle ground when it comes to an effective punishment/deterrent that doesn't ruin a kid's life if they choose to embrace their immature / stupid side. Definitely a tough call.
I really don't know what the punishment should be. If it's to light then it becomes a joke and a badge of honor to some kids. To harsh and the kid will not be able to come back from it. I do think that they have to start using the punishment as a deterrent so that the kids understand the trouble they will get into.
