> If anything this kid has ended up the victim in all of this. A felony is a tough thing to shake.
Good thing this kid doesn't have a felony on his record. He has a felony charge, one that the Police were planning to drop pre-trial. That is a very different thing.
> I also find it laughable that changing wallpaper makes someone a victim. Can we reserve that term for when actual harm was caused?
Okay then, first you recognize that the kid's permanent record wasn't harmed by the police. Then I'll recognize that the teacher wasn't harmed either. The majority of damage to this kid's reputation was done by the newspaper when they wantonly published the kid's name.
