To the gentleman who said the boy should be let off with a warning and a thank you for letting the tram company know how vulnerable they are, I DISAGREE! At 14, a child knows the difference between right and wrong, and what he did injured 12 people. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anyone was killed, but that's just dumb luck. It could have been much, much worse, and that may be the last opportunity to teach the child that what he did was WRONG, so that the next time he considers doing something this childish, he stops and thinks about what the consequences might be. He should at the very least, have to do some sort of public service that in some way apologizes to the people whose lives he disrupted, and perhaps repay the city/tram company for their expense.
