We took a kid who obviously, you know, again, not condoning theft, but like, if I think about something that a kid may do, that sounds kind of like a kid like thing. And you know, that was when I was so frustrated that Texas is only one of five states that at the age of 17 you are considered an adult, but only for criminal justice purposes. So I'm like, why is it we haven't gotten in alignment with the federal law? Why isn't it that we haven't changed it to 18? (04:43–04:51)
