These "kids" weren't that young. They were definitely old enough to be able recohnize what a grenade looks like, especially in the war-torn area that they grew up in. They thought it would be fun to thumb their nose in the face of danger, and danger thumbed them right back. Its like blaming a motorist for hitting a kid who knowingly played in traffic.

Funny how I also said "whoever placed them there".
And they were definately old enough? Were these kids schooled? Its a third world country. I can see if the kids were some sort of scholar for their area, and then yes, they should have known better.
And "They thought it would be fun to thumb their nose in the face of danger"?
Did you talk to these kids? Or are you psychic as to why people do what people do now?

The motorist would still be at fault for not stopping.
Go find a kid in the street and plow him down, and see if you get off scott-free.
