It depends not only on intent, but if that intent is steady the whole time. This is also depending upon the actions that came before that created the intent. After all, if, for example, an individual's parents are murdered and they choose retribution..then perhaps one might argue that the murderers are evil and the child not.

BUT, if the child does no research and simply goes to kill out of selfish intent, that is a kind of evil.

Better still, if the parents had done something to warrant being murdered(perhaps secretly being part of the mafia, etc)then they are 'evil'.

I think everybody has a reason for most of the things that they do. "Evil" is hard to find in a clean-cut, black & white instance.

Intent.

When a person performs a bad action things suck, but if intentions were good you can eventually calm down, forgive, and teach the person how to get things done without having that bad action happen again.

If the person meant to do bad things from the start, you've got a scheming devil boy on your hands and should force the thing to fellate a shotgun as soon as possible.
