People who throw acid at other people should have acid thrown on them.
These kids are really young, I mean where does an eight year old get the idea and motivation to do this? The twelve year old probably egged the others on, but still this is such an intense crime for such young ages
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.
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.
