Re: Children plotted to stab teacher: police, 8 & 9 year old Americans attempt murder
The thing is, kids dont realize what "dead" is. They dont really realize consequence either, not till later on. THere was this whole report series on CNN about this. They had a police officer come in to a 1st grade classroom to give a presentation on how dangerous guns are. They were given an age-appropriate but very strong idea of the danger. Then they were left alone for a few minutes with a fake (but very real looking) gun in the class. INVARIABLY, each of the classes filmed took and TRIED TO SHOOT the gun.
