Anyone know if the charged ( if found guilty ) are required to replace the huts that they lit on fire?

they should be..That is just sad. The lack of respect amazes me at times

parents are legally and financially responsible for any child under 18 years of age.

the hut owners can file a civil law suit against the parents for any and all damages done by the kids.

Should be made to do some sort of community service along with paying for the materials to rebuild the ice huts. How about having them put the time and effort into rebuilding each and every ice hut.
