13? The laws are ridiculous.These kids are going to be charged with a crime?That is astonishing.At that age they are not aware of the laws.I know boys have always been interested in girly magazines...and whatnot.At that age they aren't even very capable of stopping to think of the meaning of the things they do 'in depth'.For them it is like finding a nudie mag and showing it around.They should have a bit of discipline to some degree....but legal charges?They are kids.This reminds me of the time I bought a little laser light toy that has a red pin dot for a puppy or cat to chase around.My son was out side with it seeing how far the dot would appear .A neighbor called the police and cars pulled up with guns drawn.They said the neighbor would have been within their rights to SHOOT my son because it was similar to a guns laser light.That it is a felony to point those.I believe general public is ignorant of so many laws.But ignorance of a law will not nullify the law.This is a 1$ toy in a store.OMG.My point is that laws are SO blanket as to be begging for revision.Kids do stupid shi" and they are generally not able to grasp the ramifications of their deeds to the extent an adult may.If anything is responsible...it is mass media as a babysitter/influence to our kids.A legal charge will follow them.I realize there are many different ways to view the ordeal.But point being...the laws are too blanket in some cases.They need to really "fit" the action....and the age.
