Perhaps, lost and alone when he arrived, Hook picked him up. And later, after gaining his trust, he learned about Rumple and his dagger. I know Bae was good and innocent, but if he was abandoned, Hook might have persuaded him to join him. And later, when he came to our world, he continued with his cons and stealing way of life. What do you guys think?? Hm...given what the creators have thrown at us, its quite possible, but then there's the whole thing with him being Milah's son. That'd be an interesting reunion. Personally, as I agree that 14 is just a tad old to be a lost boy, there's still the possibility of him being Peter himself, but just not seeing him as such. Or perhaps, Baelfire might've been the leader of the Lost Boys until Peter took over. But as far as being a pirate goes? Its possible, but unlikely.
