So, she decided that the best way to have a discussion about this was to put this kid's name out on the internet, along with his picture, and call for a witch hunt. Yes, this is rational, mature behavior coming from an "adult".

I’ve read in an excellent article about cancel culture that the difference between criticism and cancel culture is, the former says, “Here is where you are wrong,” and then waits for a response. If you make one, great; if not, whatever; if you realize you were wrong, very well. Criticism only turns into an effort to stop someone when it leads to actual harm against others. Cancel culture wastes no time on that. It just says, “You’re an asshole and you need to pay for your sins.”
