8yr old charged with murder

An 8-year old was charged with murder of his father and another man recently. Is it justifiable to charge a kid that young with murder? Does the kid know any better or is it the parent's fault for leaving such things around? Your thoughts.... http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/11/08/child.charged.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

To a certain extent the 8-year old should be punished. But it can be argued that the parents are at fault for not exercising better parenting techniques. Being charged with murder may be a bit harsh. I think the child should be re-educated about life in general while still being held under close supervision. Then maybe after a few years giving another chance.
