Let me just say, some kids aren't as innocent as most people would think they are. I've met 6 and 7 year olds that know as much about sex as most adults, and they know exactly what they are doing when they act out sexually. It is entirely possible that the boy in the second article knew exactly what he was doing. In which case he needs a whole lot of help, and possible home schooling depending on how things are at his home.
That said, its also possible that he was just a bully that was dared by his friends to do something stupid, and then got mad when he found out the girl told her mother. A lot of kids are like that.
As for the little girl not wanting to go to school any more, there are tons of kids out there that are like that due to "normal" bullies. The only difference here is the initial bullying behavior that took place. In this case it is possible that people may be reacting based upon how they view the act as a sexually aware adult, than as the child probably viewed it. Note: I'm not condoning bullying in any form or fashion, I was bullied a lot in school and do not wish it upon anyone else.
