A mom has taken to Facebook to publicly shame her teenage son after he was expelled from his school for selling hand sanitizer for 5op-a-squirt ($0.65 USD).
Amid the global crisis of the coronavirus outbreak, the entrepreneurial youngster thought he could make a quid buck by selling tiny amounts of hand sanitizing gel to concerned students at a huge markup price.

She wrote in a post earlier today:
"This is a picture of my teenage son just getting in from school.
"Why is he getting in from school at 10:53am you ask? Schools don't finish until 3pm
"Well the little turd has just been expelled from school for the day after been caught charging students 50p a squirt for hand sanitiser to protect themselfs from the bloody corona virus!!
"Very hard to discipline this behaviour when his dad phones him from work to call him a f**king legend. [sic]"
Since being posted to Facebook two hours ago, the post has received more than 53,000 reactions, 25,000 comments, and 57,000 shares!
Many of the comments are applauding the young teen's enterprising spirit:
In an update to the post, Tompkins revealed just how much her son had made from his "get-rich-quick" schoolyard scheme:
"**Edit. I can't keep up with the comments. For those asking, he made £9! He bought a multipack of Doritos and saving the rest to buy a kebab later xXx"
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are looking forward to seeing this young tycoon on Dragon's Den in the near future.
