"Those on the side that uses children in this fashion are morally bankrupt. I can give them NO credibility."
No faith in our youth these days?
Why does everyone automatically ASSUME that these kids are pawns?
Anyone ever stop to think that whatever they've been taught in church and brought up to believe in by their parents inspired them to ask to do this on their own?
THose skeptics out there have obviously have never seen a group of boyscouts at work...you'd be surprised what a group of teenagers can come up with to do on their own if they're raised and taught right.
Because they are minor children, well below the age of consent.

Please remember this the next time you see a group of liberals with their kids holding anti-Bush signs at an anti-Iraq War rally. Remember that they may have been taught in church that killing people is wrong and their parents brought them up to believe this.
C'mon, Tx...these kids couldn't do this without their parent's approval and encouragement.
There are, in addition to the sincere protestors down there, undoubtedly some lunatics. These kids wereplace right between the maniacs and the cops. Wonderful.
I'll say it again...kids have NO PLACE at such a thing, and NO PLACE being arrested for it. Their parents either allowed it or put them up to it. Thus, those parents are either blindly stupid or fanatically foolish.
