Many people don't know that Dr. Jeffrey Caufield (in General Walker....) feels strongly that Lee Harvey Oswald was recruited as a 15-year-old as a kind of "sleeper" agent. Caufield thinks that local New Orleans right-wing extremists were grooming Oswald to enter the Marine Corps and/or travel to the USSR to build up his credentials as a Communist. Then he would return (as actually happened) to infiltrate the Civil Rights movement and tar that movement with the taint of Communism.
Lending credence to the above theory is the fact that Oswald's cousin was a Jesuit priest of some sort. Those types are typically involved in unconventional spying activities, blending their activities with religious-type involvements so as to make them indistinguishable. This type of family connection would be way more likely than just having a 15-year-old youngster turned over to the intel community at age 15.
That, in my opinion, would be "abuse and neglect" with respect to such a minor child. That is not consistent with Oswald's mother's genuine concern for all her three sons, nor with most of her sons' sincere efforts to be good citizens and good Marines.
Hence it would be very significant if it were proven that the CIA would "put money" on teenagers as future spies.
Personally, I tend to doubt the wisdom in the minds of the intel people who would try this---"Never send a boy to do a man's job" is the well-worn cliche relevant to this issue.
