When they try minor defendants in the USA as "adults," aren't they saying the kids aren't what the seem to be, that they aren't actually their chronological age? "Young at heart," an "old soul," saying the same thing.

Maybe we should respect someone who says they're old enough to be free of parental guardianship, or an adult child who isn't 26 in their self-view and shouldn't be kicked off their parents insurance.

Lots of possibilities here

What is age confusion? And at what age can one expect to think that murdering multiple children and adults is ok?

So far I've gone from baby all the way to middle age without ever thinking I should murder multiple people. I would even go so far as to say the vast majority of people make it through all ages without murdering.
