Of course, but that is all - but there should be no further punitive recourse

But no one is arguing for that.
The main points raised are that it was a nasty 'joke' in very poor taste, Price is more than entitled to complain, as are we to find it distasteful.

She can ask C4 for an apology. That's fine, and its a PR issue which i'm sure they'll gush over. What would reporting to OfCom do? Can the ban re-transmission of the material? Fine Boyle? OfCom have a duty to address material which I guess would be illegal of which Boyle's material here shouldn't be.

Ofcom have a wider scope than simply stopping illegal material. There are rules regarding decency and the fact he named the child in question may also be an issue they need to deal with.
