Evil Children?

Is it possible for a child (under age eight) to be so devious, so evil, that they can become possessed? If no, then how would you explain children that mimic an attitude of an adult with bad intentions... is medical, is it mental? What are your thoughts?

I think it is learned behavior. A child under 8 may not be accountable, but that doesn't mean they aren't impressionable. Children mimic what they see. It is how they learn.

I agree with Tena. It is learned behavior, although I have seen children under age acting really 'evil' and sometimes I used to wonder how people say children are innocent. There are cases of small children killing others, how this can be possible?.

Children Evil

This is true children are extremely impressionable. They only mimic what they see adults, cartoons, and wrestlers do. I remember an episode of Simpsons where maggie attacks homer several times, it was because of the episode of the cartoon that they watch. There for Maggie is still innocent but is very impressionable.
