At the age of 13, a boy from Upper Palatinate planned a shooting spree; at the age of 14, he stabbed a seven-year-old in a psychiatric hospital. Charges have now been brought. What do you do when children become perpetrators?
It is a disturbing image: a boy, wearing a black cap, black T-shirt and black gloves, holding a knife with a long blade in his hand. He is standing in a toilet, with white tiles in the background, and he is taking a photo of his reflection. The cell phone is covering his face, but you can see that he is still young, 14 years old. Shortly afterwards, he posts the photo on the Internet and underneath it one word: “Revenge”.
