You might be trying to turn the discussion into something different. I'm responding to the OP. The child in the OP shouldn't be acting out of a desire to punish. A huge part of growing up is learning that you don't have a right to confer upon yourself the right to punish others. Maturity is being fair with others, even when they have done something to hurt you. Yes, you have to do something to protect yourself from hurt. But retaliation is generally immature and antisocial.
