A teen boy in Australia is learning the hard way that sometimes there are severe consequences for pranking others after throwing milk on some boaters.

The unidentified 16-year-old Australian boy has been booted from his exclusive school after he threw milk on some women who were boating on the Yarra River on Jan. 27. Tuition runs up to $46,540 a year at Melbourne Grammar School, according to the Herald Sun.

It doesn’t end there for the prankster either. He was mandated a “combination of suspension and other punitive action, reparation, apologies, and counseling” following the stunt that went viral on TikTok. The Herald Sun reported that the video was viewed over 32.6 million times. It has since been deleted.

“We continue to have the firm view that this behavior was completely unacceptable and have treated the matter with the utmost seriousness,” Principal Philip Grutzner said in a statement.

“The boy uploaded footage of the vile act under his Instagram account, ‘giddynokiddy,’ as he showed himself dumping milk on top of the four women while they were on a GoBoat ride on the Yarra River,” the New York Post reported.

One of the women doused with the milk stated that the group was celebrating a friend’s birthday.

“You book a GoBoat for your friends birthday and some kid on the bridge above us pours a whole bottle of milk on us for,” Veronica Burgess wrote on TikTok.

The clip shows milk spread all over a picnic table laden with fruits and snacks where the women are sitting. Someone comments in the background, “We’re actually gonna stink.”

“Would love to find the kid that ruined our day :),” Burgess said in the caption.

“Imagine if someone on the boat was allergic to milk? This is beyond dangerous,” she posted online.

One of the women attempted to shake milk out of a Bluetooth speaker.

“Recognizing how far he might’ve gone, the boy allegedly told others in a video, that’s since been deleted on TikTok, to stop sending videos of him in the foul act to his school before he was ultimately expelled,” the New York Post wrote.

“Please stop contacting my school, my school has caught me and I am facing expulsion. Can’t believe you would do this to (a) minor,” the boy whined, according to the Herald Sun.

Try putting your outrage to a more fitting topic. Like youth crime where actual violence & robbery occurs yet they get a free pass from courts. Throwing milk is a rotten prank but hardly a crime. They have been punished rightly by school.

“Why’d you do this to me. You ruin my life over a ruined day, you upped the anti, I’m just a kid and you ruined my life. Too far,” the boy ranted according to the New York Post.

“Police have phoned my parents, are you guys happy now? I have a criminal record now, never ever going to be able to live life. You happy?” he said online.

The school bills itself as “one of Australia’s leading independent schools” in the country.

The incident was investigated by the school and the Victoria police. The teen was issued a warning for unlawful assault.

“The matter is now complete,” a Victoria police spokesman told the New York Post.

The boy’s actions caused many to complain on TikTok about the “ongoing problem” in Melbourne.
