A “right” is what you would have received from an angry father when he got the $$BILL$$ for your personal share of the cost of cleaning up your “joke”.
In 1947, my school, 6 juvenile defectives caused $1250 worth of damage. Judge took a pad and pencil, divided $1250 by 6, wrote down the figure and every family paid their kid’s share. Father’s salaries attached, property got liens, kids got a marvelous life lesson.
Afterward, they did become “Very good kids.”

Wow! $1250.00 was HUGE money in 1947-—at least in my neighborhood.

No screaming about rights or fragile egos or tough times making the payments.

Fined. Paid. Lesson learned.
