To this day, children are still witnesses to murder in this world. Do we believe that they are not changed for life by these early experienced? How would a child be affected by being a witness to murder?

As a person who has witnessed death from a very young age I can say that it makes me appreciate life much more than the drones working 9 to 5!

I know of several children who have witnessed murders or brutal violent deaths and each of them has been effected in different ways.
1 is in prison a repeat offender of petty crimes and will continue on this path because he feels safe there.
1 has problems sleeping after 16yrs.
1 has several children to different fathers but has stuck around for non of them.
1 is a workaholic and cant stop being on the go.
1 is a overprotective parent and possesive partner and has a major concern about security.
All have different issues that may or may not be relfective as to what they saw but most are either emotionally and mentaly scared to apoint that it effects thier lives and the way they live with their families and in society.

It certainly gives them a new perspective on life and makes them grow up a lot faster than they would otherwise.
There have been a few studies done on the subject. If you did a web search you'd probably find quite a few of them.
