Westborough, MA The recent upsurge in extremely violent crimes committed by children has resulted in considerable confusion among parents, teachers, and pediatricians. Can children as young as six or seven be held liable for crimes they commit? That question has come up again in Florida with the confession of a 7-year old child who admitted to killing his baby sister. “We should not be surprised by the hideous crimes reported almost daily in newspapers across the country” says Michael S. Sefton, Ph.D. a
brain injury specialist from Westborough, MA and author of “The Evil that Kids Do” (Xlibris February 2005). The boy in Florida confessed to killing his sister because she would not stop crying. The children’s parents were outside visiting friends at the time of the 2
x 4 attack on the infant. "The
Evil that Kid's Do" may be
