^ Look--I know Vernon was right in some areas, but not everyone would understand Vernon, and some people could mistake Vernon for being abusive, not considering what was actually happening--I mean in The Outsiders (1983), Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio), fatally stabbed Bob Sheldon (Leif Garret), to defend his (Johnny) friend Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell), who was being drowned and attacked by Bob and the latter's gang (who was highly drunk). However, even though it was legally self-defense (and Johnny was defending his friend), Johnny was still charged with manslaughter for killing Bob.

You see where I'm going at? If his boss finds out about him locking Bender in a closet, even if Vernon tries to defend himself by saying, "Bender was being a @#$#!$, so I had to set him straight", Vernon may get fired, as locking a student in a closet can be seen as child abuse. Short in short, even though Bender was being a $%@$@# and Vernon was right in some circumstances, Vernon could still get in trouble for what he did to Bender.

Note: I am NOT condoning Bender's behavior.
