The youth is not an adult. To expect him to have the judgment of an
adult is unreasonable.

Not necessarily. If the parents imparted proper discipline and values,
chances are the "youth" would have demonstrated more mature judgment.

That being said, I think that Thomas was commenting on what appeared to
be "atta boy" type congratulatory comments, when whatthe "youth" did was
nothing but a careless, reckless, stupid act.
