Don't know how they're defining children, but from CDC data for 2002, we have:

For "children" age 0-19:

Unintentional Injuries (selected line items)
Motor Vehicle Traffic: 7670
Drownings: 1158
Unintentional Firearms Deaths: 167

Homocides by Firearm: 1830

Over 1500 of the firearm homocide deaths are in the 15-19 age range, so you're starting to get into the gangbangers here, is my take.

Here's the source for that:

Go to the source article in the Star. It gave me a good laugh at something that a normally far left fishwrap would put something in that we could use to verbally abuse their ideas with.

In the dictionary "birth to puberty" ie 11-12. Most governmental agencies to 11-13 defined at child.

Only anti gun agencies define children beyond age of 13.
