Re: Children arrested after attack

Children are often very aware of the meaning of death from a very young age. They also accept death as part of life and tend not to be too upset about it when young. It is only as they grow to adulthood that death becomes upsetting.

I believe that these kids knew exactly what they were doing and that they do know the difference between right and wrong. There was probably a ringleader who the rest of the kids followed even though they knew it was wrong. I remember a little girl who lived around the corner from us when I was about 12. Whenever we went to the park and the little girl wanted to come with us, we had to ask her parents.
