I'm curious how everyone would instead feel if the kid admitted doing it and seemed to showed a ton of sincere remorse?
I think I'd be a lot more sympathetic. At 13-14 your brain isn't close to formed yet. You're not the same person you're going to be as an adult by a long shot. Not that I'd ever let him near kids again. But I'd tend to want to give him a second chance at life.
