He needs to have his life “ruined” for a while. “Ruin” his life some more. He probably should have some other things taken away from him that have helped “ruin” his life.
This reminds me of my childhood; I would ask for specific models of toys (for specific playing reasons) and get “just as good” something completely different. AARRGH! A few years later that angst faded as I grew up…
Unfortunately, this kid does exist. I’ve had middle schoolers who acted that way over the smallest of things. Fortunately those students were the rare exception and not the rule.
When I was young, the only presents my father would permit were BOOKS. Any cash presents from relatives were used, under the supervision of my father, to buy BOOKS. That applied to me and all my 3 brothers.
Fast-forward: all four of us ended getting PhDs from MIT. School of Architecture, Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering.
Somewhere there are some lessons to be learned here. :-)

Good thing he doesn’t live in Ukraine. There wouldn’t be a word for what his life would be (what comes after “ruined”?)
