I’d agree if I knew there were a father, a responsible one, in the household. And I’d sure rather all involved got an ass-whopin’ instead of being tagged felons for years on end.
If there isn't a responsible father in the household, then that's a problem of a different sort... one that governments like this aren't going to fix with actions like this.
I think back to when I was a kid... setting off a cherry bomb under a bucket to see how high we can get it to fly would probably land me in Federal prison for 40 to life for terrorism charges or something.
