Chuffy
The kid needs help and intervention.... this is not just about blame; the kid needs protection and counselling.
I think we're all thinking that Chuffy -- heaven knows in the States we've had enough serial killers and they tend to develop as children and tend to develop from killing small things. Almost always abused themselves as children -- but to be so warped as a small child - already seeking that kind of "fun" and being unsupervised to carry it out. I think people jumped way beyong blaming the boy to blaming the parents who should have been with him.
This is one of those places where culturally we may express it differently but are no less horrified.
