They would never look at a white 10 year old and be afraid of them like they are for brown ones. I work with children. A 10 year old looks like a child. People dont start getting to "could maybe pass for an adult" age until mid teens, and even thats rare.
In 2008, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) developed a new approach to the question, ascribing “participation in hostilities” not only to persons engaged in such activities at the time they were killed, but also to persons fulfilling a continuous combat function. This category includes persons who are trained to order or execute combative actions or operations. Such persons remain in this category even if they are not participating directly in such actions and even if they were not engaged in hostilities at the time of death. B’Tselem has applied the ICRC’s approach in classifying fatalities since Operation Cast Lead.
Honestly just makes me think of the shooting at Utøya, how Br*ivik spared an 11 year old's life saying he was "too young to die", while he saw no issue in shooting like 33 other minors. May that bastard die in as much pain as he inflicted on the world and may his prospective grave be desecrated by all who pass by it.
