Yes, maturation brings more sentience. Young kids are often primal and greedy. Sentience starts in a few at about 5 and come to all by ~~10, but I recall a young thug who was pushed into high school at 18 by some rule that over 18 he could not remain. He was a greedy powerful semi-bully and was eventually institutionalised, his IQ was very low and he could not read and had only a few words, he must have been a severe problem among the kids he was placed with. This was in 1952-3, I think he would be better dealt with these days?
