The decline of the community

[Vahlnir]

By inform and educate I mean before they do the action before doing things meant for adults then try to cry foul on the adults despite knowing it was not meant for children and they still do said action at that point then little timmy should face the same punishment as an adult. Cause screw this better to ask for forgiveness instead of permission mindset.

Kids, by nature, do not always use good judgement, even when they know what they are doing is wrong. I would know. I was one! Adults are expected to be better than that and act their age (though some never outgrow such immaturity), as well as adhere to various societal standards and laws to a much higher degree. So yeah, I'd say different punishments are largely warranted. Not saying that kids should be let off the hook for their behavior, but it comes down to what I said already. Things should be handled differently depending on the situation.
