According to the literature I consumed doing my psychology papers at Auckland Uni this is incorrect. An average 13 year old does not have the ability to link their actions to the consequences like a mature adult does. I think most modern law recognises this with minimum age of culpability for most crimes.
You're saying that this is all wrong, that a 13 year old does know what's coming to them. We'll if that's the case you should follow though and promote reduce voting age to 13 (as previously suggested), drinking age to 13, driving age to 13, and legal culpability to 13.
Tell me how that works GT?
