But even if they get off with no outward punishment they still will have this on their consciences forever. That's good, too.
And had the guy sought mental counselling he would still be alive today.

People, how do you think thi swill play out?

Ravi is 18, likely has no money. You can't sue the parents, as he's an adult. Who are the deep pockets here? The school.

But what will this require, that schools force students to seek out mental counselling? Will the school be blamed fo rhis decision, and his decision to not seek out counselling?

Don't presume - it's unbecoming.

Maybe you'll be saying that about Ravi one day.

I'm happy with the big ugly stain on the record forever, and the 3 AM thoughts.

I didn't read those 33 pages, but only the op and the last couple of pages. Why would he have sought mental counseling?! Shame is not a mental problem or illness...

I don't know, if he's a sociopath, he won't be doing what you think he'll be doing..

Gen Yers are so self absorbed that I would think it's would be reasonable to think he's a sociopath, Do you think sociopaths feel guilt?

No. They're sociopaths.

Maybe he wont feel guilty, but a sociopath would be mad that thanks to activist judges and the PC atmosphere of the day a harmless boyhood prank wound up blocking him from good jobs the rest of his life.

So? It doesn't say he was depressed or anything like that. Maybe his family didn't know he was gay and he was ashamed to talk about it with anyone.
