Yeah I mean the language of grooming and exploitation tends not to be associated with hacking. However a 14 yo without any friends and a difficult home life starts getting admiration from a peer group for hacking into systems could soon lead to them getting drawn into greeter illegal acts to gain approval. While it has real consequences, I think hacking can feel a little less real than breaking into a bank, especially for kids. I am certain if the money spent by the authorities in 52 years incarceration was invested into rehabilitation, society would benefit much more.
