Am I the only one thinking this isn't a Fandom issue, but a parenting issue, and that users shouldn't have bans removed - or actions excused - due to sympathy pleas or their young age?

In this case, the child has overreacted to an extreme, while also physically being able to lock herself (or barracade or whatever) in a room; too me this speaks of some deeper issue, and a lack of foresight that she is even able to do this, and I'd recommend therapy for her to discuss her issues, learn to socialise, and learn to communicate. I'd also recommend taking a lock off her door, or sorting the bedroom out so she can't barracade herself in. Safety, and all that.

If I did half the stuff she did, I'd be banned too, no doubt. Why does she get special privileges? Heck, you said it yourself that she'll come out once the ban is removed. Aren't you over indulging her? Spoiling her? Enabling her? Why not instead teach her consequences of actions and how to cope with negative events, which will be useful life skills?

Edit: In my country, the age of criminal responsibility is 10. If a 10yo has enough mental capacity to understand right from wrong, various laws, and how to behave -? A properly raised 13yo should know that, too, and should be able to accept punishment over their actions, because they know actions have consequences (unless raised otherwise, evidently).
