We generally reach the age of understanding right from wrong at around 10 years of age. I would agree with you if it were a case of theft, vandalism, drug dealing, or any other crime where they did not kill someone. I draw the line at murder without just cause.
Well children do know right from wrong, it's understanding different levels of severity and future consequences which they can struggle with.
An 8 year old, for example, will know that murder is wrong, but they also know not tidying their bedroom is wrong. To them, both things are wrong but their experiences will tell them that if you do something wrong, you get told off and maybe grounded.
