    Even a twelve year old would normally not have the means to plan such an attack. Researching how to do it, getting the acid, actually going through with the plan – that sounds suspiciously like someone older planning it and having the children execute the attack because they’ll face more lenient penalties from the law IMO.

      When I was 12, I released chlorine gas into my room in the process of trying to make oxidiser for rocket fuel and also did a bunch of other stupid shit that could have maimed or killed me. Don’t underestimate kids.

      Nah, children are as good at scheming as adults. Young brains are underdeveloped in different ways than most people think, and the abilities significantly resemble those of an adult in many (but not all) ways at a young age.
