It is most often 14 years in most countries, but what about children who have committed mass or serious murders, who are not yet 14 years old!?. The judicial system is still looking for adequate solutions for such cases, but it is evident that there are many doubts or loopholes in the law that make child murderers irresponsible for even the most heinous crimes. How and in what way to deal with such children, how to resocialize them and after a certain time integrate them back into the social community is a truly complex issue that opens up many sub-questions and dilemmas. In this paper, we will point out some of the characteristics of crimes committed by children, as well as the motives for committing them.
