"Yet these schoolboys hauled in by the Greater Manchester Police have appeared grown up compared to the adults running the education and legal systems. The boys have moved on from their playground spat, visiting each other's houses and playing football together. Yet the police and teaching unions continue to fret about what Boy A said to Boy B between July 2005 and January 2006. This case tells us little about kids, and everything about the childish principles underlying public debate today."
