28. I wouldn't say it's abuse of power or an overreaction,
but it's probably the wrong reaction.

A better path would be getting the kid involved in activity programs after school. Of course those may not be available in the area, or his health may be too bad to participate in them.

It's also hard to say if it's neglect or not without more information. He could have one of several disorders. He might be seven feet tall and malnourished for all we know.
