You (assuming you are not a troll) owe your son a huge apology, and to
rescind all punishments you have inflicted on him.
You need to read the book he checked out, go over it with him, and explain
to him what's going on. Babies nurse from their mothers.

How did you find out about this situation, anyway? It all sounds very fishy
to me . It's horrible of you to punish your child because of hearsay, and
it's horrible of you to punish him because of something he admitted doing,
that in his mind, was not wrong because he'd never been exposed to the
situation, or told that it was wrong.

I'd also like to know how the OP would enforce her punishments. He's
grounded off the bus, so she'd have to drive him to school? He has to play
alone at recess, is she the lunch recess monitor or she's going to drive
over to the school and make sure he plays alone at recess? Blargh.

I think this is a troll, at least I hope so, because the thought of actual
parents treating their children in this manner makes me feel ill ,and I
despair for the helpless children ("seven year olds", of which I have one)
that are being subjected to such treatment.
