This section retains a prohibition against various subterfuges to enable a juvenile to obtain objectionable matter or gain admission to an unsuitable performance, whether the subterfuge is used by the juvenile or by an adult on his behalf. 

Deception to obtain matter harmful to juveniles is a misdemeanor of the second degree when committed by an adult. A juvenile who violates the section is liable to being adjudged an unruly child and dealt with accordingly by the juvenile court.
