Assault is assault - kids don't get an exemption. I'm not saying a kid should be punished because he pushed another kid, but punching/kicking/slamming into a wall/etc needs to be dealt with harshly.
However self defense should not be punished. I don't understand liberals at all who punish kids for defending themselves.
Candor favors kids being little bitches.
