Now the average deaf person in this age range are typically a couple to 4 years behind hearing kids, something widely known and accepted; and therefore, they lack the maturity and personal responsibility to fully realize the gravity of their behavior after an incident of horse-playing got out of hand.
Educationally yes, they are behind. BUT, what does being dhh have to do with maturity? I mean dhh kids have some social emotional issues, but they don't have LD/ ADD/Asperger's style social emotional issues.
