It's not an effective detterent becsuse the kid holding the weapon doesn't understand the consequences.

Edit: if you give a child the keys to your car and they hit someone with it, who is at fault?

Do you really think that a 14 year old is incapable of understanding that hurting someone is wrong? And that they don't understand that there will be consequences to their actions? Because I find it hard to believe.

Obviously both - you and the child.
