I would (it's been a long, long time since I've done a game with players that young -- but I have EJ'd a 13/14 year-old and a HS player in the past 5 or so years).
The "best" rule I've seen on this -- the player that throws the bat isn't out, but the next player in the line-up is. Nothing gets a kid's attention like peer-pressure. When a team and another individual is made to suffer, the offending action is (usually) quickly corrected.
BTW, I had a college wood-bat league game this weekend. A lefty let go of the bat and it hit me (PU) in the thigh, then in the cup. He got warned.
