Sometimes otherwise good, smart kids, with good parents, can be caught up by predation. It isn't always as simple as making sure the kid is educated; they'll still be young, they'll still be immature (< 13!), and it will sometimes be possible to manipulate them. I'm not saying that what Apple is doing is a good answer, it probably isn't, but it's an answer to a genuine felt need.
