No TV, video games for girls who trashed home

Hmmm. How to punish teen vandals without having a crime appear on their “record”? The AP reports that the New Smyrna Beach, Fla., home of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy was vandalized two weeks ago by teenage girls. They used fire extinguishers, eggs and running water to damage the 87-year-old’s home. Cathy requested the girls not be charged with a crime, but he did want them to learn a lesson. As a result, they were banned from playing video games and watching TV. In addition, they must write “I will not vandalize other people’s property” 1,000 times and read a good book. The “sentence” may be Old School, but it may hit them where it hurts. (And the girls are too young to know that it’s a gift.)
