But, I don't know how I would have felt if I had outraged adults guiding my thoughts, actions, and interpreting the incident for me. Perhaps I would've been scared and way more upset than I should've been based on the incident alone.
That added social-psychological effect is essentially what Kevin and I are talking about. The kids couldn't be shielded from the incident and how it made them feel (those of them who genuinely feel something). The rest is up to the adults around them.
