The government needs to make up it's mind. Are kids people or not?

are you serious in that taxation without representation assertion? if so then you figure that we must have representation for tourists too since they too pay these taxes with no chance of refund like the Global Tax Refund ... I'm sorry that's an absurd assertion since the parents are the guardians and responsible representative for the children. This is why they are trying to change laws to make the parents responsible for the child's behavoir and their contribution to their behavior. The OP situation the mother was charged with unlawful transfer of a fiream, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment.
So you'd also like for children to be able to enter into binding contracts before 18...the idea and assertion are you making is absurd at best.
