$100 bond? Is that a joke?

Something happened and I want to know what you wise women think.
A boy (15) I know apparently has done something quite out of character: he and a friend (or friends?) were being obnoxious in class and the teacher threatened them with their grades. He's either too dumb or too lazy as a student and next year won't be at that school, so it won't affect him if his grades are bad.
Apparently, when the teacher was distracted, he stole her tablet-size laptop, took it outside, smashed it on the ground and threw it to the canal.
I personally think that this is pretty serious, I don't care if he did it alone or not, if there was group pressure or not. He stole from a teacher and destroyed it.
Here comes the thing: His mother was really worried and devastated at first, but the school's "educator" (something like a counselor) told her that it's not "that serious", just a teenager having a fit and not being able to handle frustration.
His father (I fucking despise him) laughed it off and said that "it's dumb childish shit".
If the teacher was to press charges, he's old enough to be held accountable. The value of what he stole and destroyed is almost 500€. That means that he would have a police record, go to court, and then do community services aside from paying for the laptop and paying a fine.
The school is being very lenient: he has to pay for the laptop and is expelled for 3 days. That's it.
His mother is relieved... And I don't know if I'm going to be able to burst her bubble after so many people downplayed the events. I think that this behaviour needs to be cut from the root, otherwise it may worsen if he sees that there are no consequences.
Am I in the wrong?

On Firefox I barely see any ads. I don't remember if I touched any option on my previous phone because it's been a while, but now you can use ad blockers on the phone version.

I used to call my computer things like "Washing machine", "Airplane" and "Turbojet", because it was really noisy (broken fan).

Friend who is in a cross stitch facebook group just sent me this shit:

6 a.m. and I'm still awake. I'm unable to sleep, and it's been 5 hours since I took the sleeping pills.
Too many things running around in my head, mixed feelings... And the rest of my body is not being helpful, with random pains, etc.

"I have a good jaw line and muscles".
What does that even mean?
My neighbour has good facial features, but also the eyes and mannerisms of a crack addict squirrel.

Shit has hit the fan in another facebook crochet group.

Someone sold us the idea that crocheting/knitting/cross stitching was relaxing.
Jokes aside, amigurumi (crochet toys) are a hell of a drug, and a lot of young people (mostly women of the geek kind) started crocheting to make their own favourite videogame/series character toys and created most of those groups.
The cross stitch groups have loads of sweary/snarky projects. The classic cross stitch pattern with a snarky turn. Aside from the geeky/nerdy projects.
They are full of young people (mostly women), but sometimes the most sectarian ones are in their late 30's to mid 40's. I've located a very few TIMs in there, TIFs are in a higher number.
There are still a bunch of groups that are more serious, where the participants are either from religious backgrounds or are older women, and have strict rules against anything offensive.

I still use Facebook occasionally, mostly for crochet / cross stitch / DIY inspiration, and my impression is that most (if not all) handmade groups are captured, especially crochet/knit and embroidery/cross stitch ones.
I abandoned one due to their rabid hatred towards anything Harry Potter / JKR related. They demand that a "trigger warning" must be placed as the post itself and the photos of the item had to be in the comments. It was ridiculous to the point that a scarf in the right colors without the warning could have you banned.
But there was no "trigger warning" for items with "kill the terfs" on them.
On most groups there's a flood of trains flags (and whatever they call the all-in-one flag) every now and then and a bunch of they/thems whining in the comments when someone makes something HP related.

In the late 90's or very early 00's there was a local TV channel broadcasting porn on Friday nights, and it wasn't even that late (maybe Saturdays at 1 AM), and satellite channel Canal+ that also broadcasted porn on Saturday nights (more like Sundays around 1 AM too), but encrypted.
There was also another regional channel that had something like a hook-up message board (people sent SMS to a premium number with a little description of what they were and what they were looking for) and the background was a porn video. At the beginning it was a woman doing mild erotic moves, bit of striping, but as time went by it was more explicit sex.
My male classmates would record (on VHS tapes) the local and regional channels' films and share the tapes.
The day they discovered that I was able to record whatever that was broadcast on C+ (because I had the VHS between the decoder and the TV) they began a campaign of harassment with bribery attempts, and even threats to make me record the films for them.
I refused to do it. We were around 12-13 y.o.
A couple years later porn was everywhere. I remember downloading a Disney movie with emule and it was porn. It happened time and time again.
