Stuck past Curfew

Trying to impersonate Santa Claus did not work out too well for a 17 y.o. at the Judson Center Social Services Agency in Royal Oak, Mich.

He was evidently trying to sneak back into his room because he was out past his curfew.

During his slide down the chimney, he became stuck and a worker from the center followed the moaning noise to the chimney where she found him.

Firefighters and police officers had to pull him out.

Police later said the teen appeared only to have suffered scratches on his back, but he was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

So do you punish him for breaking curfew, or do you let the natural consequences of his actions be enough, or do you punish him for breaking curfew and being stupid?

Hmm, tough questions!
