We should use the same standard for this 15 year old's ability to give consent as we would use if he committed a murder and we are making a determination about whether to try him as an adult. If he is mature enough, drop it. Many of us were banging at 15, or at least trying to.

I would place 15 at the very lower limit of this.

Or just use the South Cameron measure, "If they're old enough to go the store, they're old enough to get bread."
