california penal code 26 essentially precludes anyone under the age of 14 to be culpable of committing a crime. you have to prove culpability! it'll never happen w/a ten year old. now, civally, that's completely different....

I don't see any positiveness coming out of charging him.

A stupid ten year old that was playing with matches. It could have easily happened to me.

I still think the kid should do community service (washing fire trucks every weekend) for a good long while.
