[View Quote] Age can't be used as a defense for everything. He _knew_ what he was
doing was wrong. Therefore he is guilt of a crime and should be punished.

These types of crimes need knowledge of what you're doing, so, it's not
really hard to point a finger and put a punishment. It won't be jail or
death, but it might be pretty severe (wage garnishment to pay back greif
and such, mental assessment in a juivinile detention center).

I have no sympathy for children who play with fire and get burnt. It
seems some courts agree, and some do not.
