Headlines are to get you to read an article.

"Teen gets branded a felon for life for armed robbery" doesn't really do anything for me. But seeing a headline that says a teen is now a felon for only 7 cents; that makes me want to check it out.

This.

Yep pretty much common sense. Not sure what the fuss is about.

According to the article, the kids had BB guns that looked like real guns, then punched the 75-year old man repeatedly, then took all his money (which happened to be 7 cents). I don't care how much or how little amount of money it was. That deserves a punishment.
