Or do you congratulate the offender, the offender's friends, anyone connected to the offender for keeping the brat in line?

If you choose the last, then congratulations! You are a Spartan Family Member. Unlike the KnightTemplar Big Brother or Parent, the Spartan Family Member has absolutely no regard for their young one's well-being. For example, say the Spartan Sibling brother got hurt in a fight. Rather than tending to their wounds, they will be given a simple roll of bandages to patch himself up and let him heal himself or rub salt in their wounds (maybe literally) by giving them verbal abuse stating how it wouldn't have happened if they were stronger. If anyone has mistreated their children, they will be glad to side with the other side over their child/sibling as they feel "The kid deserved what they got" and the only remedy they offer to their child is "Toughen up, the world's a harsh place".

The Spartan Family Member is also prevalent in stories where [[ThereCanOnlyBeOne only one can survive or uphold the family honour]]. This creates a dog eat dog style environment between almost every member of the family and anything that can get rid of their sibling's stake in the pot is perfectly acceptable.

* In ''Anime/CodeGeass'', the Emperor of Brittania couldn't care less what happens to his children, so long as, when all is said and done, one of them is strong enough to rule in his stead. Ultimately, it's his disregard for their well-being that sets the entire plot in motion.
