I agree with above poster. This kid is not 3. he is 12. He knew better! I mean do any of us let our children go around and just put their chewed gum on stuff? Sure he may not have realized that the painting was worth much but that is not an excuse in my mind. I am pleased to see that his parents punished him and the school did too. He deserved it. Personally I would have made him work off the debt in some way. At least part of it so that he can understand that there are monetary ramifications. You know?
