You're thinking small time, which is fine. It's what you know so far. But sometimes it's not so bad, having somebody who'll step in when a person's being mugged or dragged into an alley to be raped.
That person might only be able to do that when they're fifteen. But they grow up. And if they're not dead, they might do something really worthwhile. Like stop a megalomaniac from destroying New York City.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's better to have someone willing to do something than no one willing to do anything.
