They'll cope. They'll learn that certain things are not ok and that there are consequences to those things. As long as you kept the line of communicating open with them, and allowed them to discuss with you how they felt, helped them deal with it... They would cope.

That's not for you to decide. You can't save him, and perhaps suffering the consequences would help him to realize that he does have a problem. But it isn't your place to decide where he NEEDS to be... that's out of your hands.
