As you are applying a legalistic approach to questions of moral culpability, it is probably pertinent to point out that, in most developed legal systems, there are special rules for addressing criminal acts on the part of minors and others of limited capacity. Generally, if a person lacks the capacity to appreciate (and therefore intend) the consequences of their action, there will not be a sufficent mental element (the mens rea) to establish liability.

Of course, the next question is how moral is it to judge one by a standard they are unaware of, but that is a discussion for another time.
