When she realized the consequences of throwing an apple and refused to admit it, she already had the ability to distinguish. Knowing the advantages and avoiding the disadvantages shows that she is not young. Our children, I have taught her some manners and common sense since childhood: no littering, no throwing objects at high altitude, are the most basic two.
When my daughter was four years old, someone dropped a bag of kitchen garbage downstairs and smashed it on the roof of my house. Not only did it smash a hole in the roof of the car, but the oil inside spilled everywhere and could not be cleaned.
I said to the child at that time: fortunately, this is a car. If it is a person, it will kill people. Therefore, you can't throw things downstairs from home at any time.
Our family lived on the seventh floor. The child has always kept it in mind and never threw anything downstairs. The reason given by the child who threw the apple is not credible. If the police hadn't found the DNA and couldn't escape, personally, she wouldn't have admitted it.
She threw the apple down, not to hurt others, probably out of a mischievous mentality, and did not expect the result of hitting people, but such a tragedy will not happen because you are young, nor will it be irresponsible because you are young.
In any case, we all hope that the smashed child will be safe and sound, and we don't want similar tragedies to continue.
