DefCon for kids? Why?  Just take them to a regular DefCon...

Sounds like Cathy's daughter is the perfect person for DefCon according to
Chris' "Why is DefCon like sudoku?" presentation earlier this month.

There is a good deal of material presented at DefCon that gives
credence and lip service to breaking laws without consequences.  Youth
are already at a disadvantage since the human brain does not recognize
consequences until around 25 years old, while being required to be
accountable since the age of 18.

This sounds like junk science. Kids as young as 2 and 3 lie to avoid getting into trouble which suggests they understand consequences for their actions.

I would carefully counsel your daughters and sons about some of what
is presented, the current state of government surveillance in America,

and exactly where and when they have encroached private property and
consequences.   A good example is the back page of 2600 magazine where
jail inmates are given free classified space to write desperately for
penpals from jail for such crimes.
