They are intentionally punishing the child for ~~nothing.~~ being different

Otherwise you're spot on, this whole thing was entirely unnecessary and avoidable, if only those in positions of power wanted to avoid it.

Yeah I could have been more explicit, being different is nothing to be punished over. It's also specifically illegal.
