Yes, essentially. It is well established in law that minors have fewer rights than adults, although not all the rights kick in at 18. They can't buy fags or booze, they can't drive a car or get a job. Because they're kids. They also get the luxury of not being tried as an adult if they commit a crime, such as smashing up a cafe.
Why?
Because they have earnt the right to equal rights by virtue of being alive for >18yrs?
