None of the other kids received the tongue lashing that he did.
True, but none of the other kids received a chocolate factory or, more importantly, a second chance either.
The difference between Charlie and the others was that Charlie was given a second chance after he stole the drinks, something none of the others were offered. What Augustus did was no different than what Charlie did - he drank from the river when told not to then fell in the river polluting it. Charlie stole the drinks and polluted the venting tower. Charlie got a second chance and Augustus got chocolate in his crotch.
The fact remains that Charlie was in fact no better than any of the other kids who disobeyed a direct order - a major gaffe.
