Son was with team at a school event. His pals took his phone ($300 phone, not that it matters) and wouldn’t give it back. They opened it up and started looking through all the messages, numbers, pictures. He repeatedly demanded they give it back. His gf was there, and she was humiliated because they were looking at private stuff to do with her. Anyway, he finally punched a kid in the arm to get him to give it back. He’s afraid now that he’s going to end up in trouble next week. There’s a policy against “fighting”. Anyway, I’m furious at the kids, because there’s a tendency at this school for no respect for people’s private property. I’m going to have to be restrained if he gets called in on this.

Am I overreacting?
