#1 Why do people bring kids to riots? To get them wounded or killed? Which kids do they use? Spares? The neighbors'?

There's a pretty good chance that Iranian agents put a minority of Shiite fanatics up to it. The news wire agencies will tend to exaggerate everything - the expats don't know what's going on and the locals are trying to put the worst face on things.

The kids are there as human shields. Muslim religious fanatics view their kids as disposable. When you have enough kids to form a football team, it's not like losing one is going to make much of a difference.
