Two kids charged with battery after shooting silly string at other kids

There may be more to this story, but based on what we know, what are your thoughts on this? Two kids (minors) near Fort Myers, Florida were walking out of an ice cream shop on Saturday, when two other kids (also minors) ran up and sprayed them with SILLY STRING.
And the two kids who did it ended up getting ARRESTED for battery. It sounds like they're teenagers, and might all know each other. It doesn't sound like a fight ensued. It was just a prank. The two kids who got sprayed told some cops about it. Then the cops called their parents . . . and the PARENTS were the ones who decided to press charges. Was this an overreaction or completely justified?

Would you rather be smart and sad or dumb and happy? That is the question asked in a recent poll...in the end, "dumb and happy" won . . . but only by a very slim margin, 36% to 35%. The other 29% said they weren't sure.

So which would you choose? Smart and sad or dumb and happy?
I'm going for blissful ignorance!
