According to reports, the teen jumped in to assist after seeing another student struggling to breathe. But instead of saving the situation, officials later argued that the way he intervened caused harm — and he was taken to court over it.

The courtroom sat in disbelief as the fine was read out. The teenager looked stunned, while many questioned how someone so young could ever be expected to pay such a huge amount.

Online, the case has sparked outrage. Thousands are calling the punishment “ridiculous” and “unfair,” arguing that no teenager should be financially ruined for trying to do the right thing. One commenter wrote: “He tried to help — and they punished him for it? That’s insane.”

The story continues to spread, with many hoping the fine will be overturned on appeal and the teen will be remembered for his intentions, not the mistake.
