If kids are brought up with at least the basic tenets of a society, they can understand at an even earlier age the difference between right & wrong. Why else would an eight year old lie about something or blame someone else ? because they know they've done WRONG & want to avoid punishment.

So the blather about them not knowing the difference is pure drivel & Mrs (Dr) Maggie Atkinson, should crawl back under the stone that half wit "Balls" pulled her out from. Each case would be better served if just facts & the outcome were judged & not the age of the accused. Although Thompson & Venables were 10 years of age it doesn't make their crime any less horrendous than those of Brady & Hindley 28 & 24 respectively.
