Heavenly One and Miss Brattified have established the fact young children can premeditate such a crime but they have also established the fact the children felt it was their only way out of a terrible situation. I believe this story has much more to it than we know. Hopefully, if the child was suffering abuse, he will be released to his mother without repercussions. This child is going to need a lot of help and support.
Yes, I agree that a child that age can certainly premeditate, however, I'm not sure that someone of that age has a full understanding and appreciation of the severity and finality of their actions. It seem to be a very sad story, and no matter what, that child is going to need a lot of prayer, support, and counseling.
