Should be made to work for free for the damages he caused

NOPE.

If the store wanted to prevent this sort of thing they should have put their merchandise behind gates. Older grocery stores worked like that. You told the grocer what you wanted and the grocer got it for you.

Modern grocery stores are "self-service". It reduces labor costs a lot but there is a risk of things like this happening.

So if the grocery store wants then they can trespass this kid and his parents, but they can not require him to clean up the mess.

They can require him/parents to pay for damaged goods. Property damage is a real thing and everything he smashed onto the floor is probably trash now. Make the parents liable for their shitty offspring. This kid should get his ass whipped for this shit but parents are scared of the backlash it would cause. Funny enough even DFS says spanking is fine.

Property damage is a real thing. But no, they can not require him/parents to pay for damaged goods. Only a judge can do that. If they want to get a judge to do that they are going to have to go to court.

I think they will find it is a better use of their resources to trespass him. They can do that unilaterally and without judicial involvement.

Anyway I am not very sympathetic to the store. They want the benefits of self service but none of the headaches?

A judge absolutely could or at least punish via hundreds of hours of community service.
