There's a common misconception that 13-year olds do not know what they do, and cannot be responsible.

This *might* be true for kids growing up a nice, loving family in the middle of Nebraska, without anything to worry about... but it's not true for inner-city gang members, and certainly not for kids from Afghanistan, who have seen more war, bloodshed and destruction than you could possibly imagine. One grows up pretty damn quickly in those circumstances.

As for keeping them in the same facility... well, you might want to put them in a seperate area, all alone; I doubt they'd enjoy that idea.

(Oh, and last year, two kids disappeared; they were Dutch, from Moroccan descent, both about 15 years. They apparently tried to go to Chechnya, to fight in the holy war there. Of course, they failed - it was too cold for the poor kids. One of them still wants to go, though.)
