    Of course he was being dumb, you are a parent and worried. If the school presses charges, as the contents were under their liability at the time, it may mean community duty, but it is up to the judge to decide depending on his deamnor and repentance at the time. You must realize though, this will mean a record for him and I hope it isn't gang related.
