      If you look at the Wikipedia entry for “age of criminal responsibility,” quite a few countries think that children under a certain age just plain cannot be held responsible for a crime. Of course, in the US it’s different and there are some states where age does exempt from responsibility and some where it doesn’t.

      Not “put her up to it”… 'allowed the behaviour"

      There’s the other article about a 17 year old being killed during a welfare check so getting put down doesn’t seem to make a distinction.

      For me it’s a slider, at 15 I would agree with you, but 10 I definitely think the parents should be the ones in court.

      Would the monkey really be put down tho ? If it still holds the flamethrower of course, because it’s still a threat, but after the fact I don’t think so.
