I think the type of person who knows enough to buy a police scanner also knows enough to start their own blog somewhere. Perhaps they started it at WindyCitizen in a rational decision to maximise their audience / build community. He's 16, for Christ's sake. In days gone by he'd be married with children by now. And yet people internalise these "underage" rules and insist on treating people like toddlers until their 18th birthday. It's completely arbitrary, and ridiculous. Let him do as he pleases.
