The hell that kid "didn't know what he was doing was wrong."
For anyone who doubts this, buy and read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It is a novel about a group of children. The lead character is named Ender Wiggin, who got his nickname from his baby sister because she could not pronounce "Andrew".
The most stunning thing about the book is not the story, plot, or setting, all of which are stunning enough. The most stunning thing is the number of people who have written to Card saying, "Yeah! That is exactly how we thought when we were kids!"
Aside from the insight into children, which is really nothing more than a reminder of how you used to think and feel before you "grew up", the book is an amazing story in its own right that turned Card into an internationally recognized and very successful author.
For those who have read and liked it, I'll close with this reminder. The enemy's gate is down!
