We sell a lot of Bell Faction and Giro Flak helmets to the 7-15 age group boys. So many, in fact, that we no longer have many of the smaller sizes in stock (and we haven't been able to order new ones either - they're out everywhere!). They are probably significantly safer in the event of a crash, but poorly ventilated and with virtually no adjustability. This means that the helmet is a poor choice if you're unable to get a good fit, and also a very poor choice (economically) for those whose heads are still growing (i.e. pre-teens and young teens). I try to talk people out of buying them if they can't get a perfect fit, but I rarely succeed.
