I don't know what you are talking about Peter but the scenes I saw were not kids. I agree that the police can sometimes be heavy handed and I do not condone that; neither do I condone violent demonstrations. I would suggest that when a demo turns violent it is due to a minority who have no other intention than to cause violence. I do not believe, however, that the answer is to send the riot and mounted police in amongst a crowd that also contains peaceful protesters. Everyone has a right to protest about whatever they like; there is no excuse for violence.
