"Even though we give very strict guidelines on proper behavior and we hold students to high standards, he is only 12 and I don't think he understood the ramifications of what he did before it happened, but he certainly understands the severity of it now," said Kildee.

That is the sorriest excuse I've ever heard...and that's from the school's director! Just because he is 12 years old doesn't mean he couldn't understand his actions. He knew exactly what he was doing and there is no excuse for it. The museum should make him pay for the cleaning of the painting and his parents should smack the shit out of him for being a jackass.

Welcome to Detroit.

Twelve is more than old enough to know that you don't fuck with art in a museum. He knew exactly what he was doing when he stuck the gum to the painting: he was being an ass.

I've been to the DIA. It's one of the most beautiful places in Detroit (which ain't sayin' much as most of the city looks like a DMZ but...). Suspended? Disciplined? If that was my kid, I'd ground him until DEATH and start drinking more from the guilt of making him live under the stairs.
