Do you consider "kid" to be a synonym for "child"?

I hear people my age use it to refer to themselves and people their age all the time. I realized this now when people were talking on another board about how some kid in Michigan ripped a bunch of them off, but I'm wondering if this is exclusive to the whole indie "scene", since I don't hear it used referring to 20+s elsewhere. By the way I hear it used it could mean anyone under 30.
