Like I already said: the tree of knowledge makes you guilty because you knew better and did it anyway. A child that takes things is not a thief because they don't have the brain development to know better. Stealing is wrong even if the child doesn't understand, and it's the parents responsibility and right to prevent the child from stealing.

Your analogy is reaching. I don't think it's a logical similarity.

How can you know better without having that knowledge? They were given a warning but didn't understand its consequences.
