Consequences should be calibrated and at least for children their records expunged where sensible. Online posts that are never expunged and can be screenshotted and shared do not lead to calibrated consequences.

Maybe these kids can do something extra to atone and make a case for themselves in their next application. Until then this particular consequence seems well calibrated.
