I don't understand this response. Having been on the wrong end of it you should be advocating harder than anyone to teach kids the complexities of cybersecurity law and ensure they can make the right decisions rather than throw away their future over a stupid prank. There is no "validation" happening here, the OP is just stating reality. Random high schoolers' rebellions aren't going to result in Congress overturning the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and a hundred related laws.

Is it a good system if a "stupid prank" can "throw away your future" ?
No it is not a good system. But nothing I said is invalid because of that.
No, but that doesn't mean you should deliberately play into it.
