The only reason children can't make these decisions is that parents try to keep them ignorant and stupid way too long. You can't make informed decisions without information. What is so hard to understand about that? A lot of kids burn their hands on stoves, not knowing it is hot, but if you teach them that it's hot and will hurt, they are less likely to just put their hands on a red hot element.
Children who are taught of the consequences of actions will make better decisions than those who aren't taught at all. Why do you think there are efforts to get at risk kids into programs that tour prisons? It's so they know the consequences of their actions.
And yes, before it's brought up, some people will go ahead and do the wrong thing, no matter how well you teach them. We call them neo-cons
