first of all, 12-13 years old is probably the threshold, as it is the age where children start to become young adults.
but I stand by my point. in children where the cognitive process is not fully developed, death is just as much of a grey area as life. I don't know about you but I didn't start to become fully cognitive untill I was sometime around that age. that's why children are children and adults are adults.

Let's be logical. You can spout age brackets of development you heard on the news as much as you'd like ...it doesn't really make your case any better. The first rule of child psychology is that it's on a child to child basis. You don't just slap down some age and say "He couldn't have known yet." His thought processes and recognition of death are totally dependent on his life. What he's already been through. There are plenty of children MUCH younger than fucking 12 that fully understand the concept of death. Why? Because they've already experienced it. Any speculation is just speculation, there's no right answer cuz no one here knows the kid. so just shh
