Corrupting children is despicable.
Is you're speaking in philosophical means, children have not 'eaten the apple' and are pure. Only the implications of an elder can condemn them to unjust means.
Everything the child experiences at a young age, is represented when he's an adult.
I also gotta note that being judgmental is also very bad. Not to sound religious or w/e, but I've been reading quite a bit of texts recently, and clearing everything up that I have questioned. Being judgmental you project an image of negativity, and even though you might not mean to show an evil side to someone directly, someone might recall a memory of you speaking certain words, and hence influence their future actions.
