Yeah really, I snorted at the "he hurt a living thing, he could kill it next!" thing. I highly doubt he was trying to hurt the tree so much as be interested in what was under the bark and how it comes apart.
I would guess that in a family that isn't too nature-oriented, a kid could easily get to that age without realizing it's even possible to hurt a tree. (Except by chopping it down or something obvious like that.)
I doubt an 11-year-old would even relly be able to wrap his head around the whole thought process of the tree being a "living" thing. To a kid, a tree's a tree yanno?
Is it old meme? I don't know her at all, I just laughed because she's soooo concerned about punishing him, but she can't actually, you know, WATCH him.
