Lorel -- very good point. I think one could say that the *author* is clearly uninformed; what she focuses on (the kid is counting to 1 million) reinforces the view of the masses -- that PG kids are little encyclopedias rather than thinking, feeling *people*.

If you gave me a chance to write an article highlighting a PG kid, you can bet I'd write something very, very different.

Hmm.
