If your child came home and said to you someonestole your childs bike, would you threaten to whoop your child or focus anger on just only the theif?

Let's say you had a young teenage child who was riding his bike, then stop to play ball at the park with his friends, while playing ball, as your child notice one of his friends got on his bike, he didn't think too much of it because he knew that friend and thought he could trust that friend not to go too far on his bike but turn out the friend did...

The child had to walk home cause his mom was scheduled to take him to the carnival fair later own that night. The mom was furious and instead of being angry at only the thief, the mom will be angry at her child all because she's going through issues due to choosing to be friends with rowdy neighbors who had bad kids (which wasn't her kids choice to be friends with in the first place) she had issues cause she wrongfully thought them neighbors bads kids was a bad influence on her son. She seem to had an issue with boys in general anyways.

That child had a miserable upbringing who was talked to like a dog. But anyways, I know I kinda got off topic a little. What would you due if your child's bike would you treated your child like the villian or the victim?
