No one is saying this.

And now they will. Both are at fault. Both have blame. But we're saying "Don't turn these kids into criminals. Push them to use their skills in a way that can help our society (ie: security researcher). They're still young enough that they can change. These aren't hardened criminals we're talking about. We're talking about kids.
tldr: Kids aren't adults. Who knew this was such a controversial topic?
