Oryx,
What I was saying is that a brain at 11 is not fully matured.
Don’t tell me that you can't understand what I meant. This is science!
Yes, you can do almost every thing like adults do such as you can read and you already know that killing is a no no no, at 11. However, the depth of thought of an 11 year old, around the act and around the consequences are different (generally shallower) from a fully grown up adult. (Aka know as maturity)
I said if the kid is guilty he should be prosecuted and punished for what he did, but never forget he is a kid!
Imagine how the world would be if we are going to treat 11 year olds as adults and if we are going to expect and count on them as if they were adults!
