I completely stand by my position that kirmit in all likelihood is a sociopath. The lack of compassion, the deliberate attack on innocence, and flagrant disregard for a fellow human being are all indicators of a deeply disturbed individual This kind of behavior doesn't happen overnight, it's a pattern of progression, and will only escalate without intervention The bigger issue is what damage is kirmit doing outside of the digital world The kid and his parents made a mistake, no doubt about that, and I suspect they have a lot to discuss going forward But what of kirmit? His punishment must fit his crime
