I don't believe we know with certainty how old the kid was at the time. Remember, you have to be 16 to GET INTO the page program. Presume the kid's there a year or so, he could have been 18 by the the time he returned to Lawzianna.

As I said, I have 17 year old son and have raised two more beyond that age. When they were 16, they were no longer kids. They were tough, strapping young men. By the time they were 17 they were adults in every physical sense of the word.

The Dems have pitched this as an assault against prepubescent boys. I'm getting sick of reading the posts of FReepers who have bought into that lie.
