Bah, I had to do a question like this in Ethics.
It depends on your stance. Do you believe that the boy will lead a long and productive life? That he could make a positive change in our world? Are the two middle-aged people already good contributing members of society? Are they just scum of the earth that hasn't done much of anything constructive?
So on one hand there's potential, on the other is that there are two knowns basically, people still change in their middle-age but usually it's nothing life shattering, they are already on a track in life and there's a higher chance that too much will change. On the other hand the little boy may just become some criminal that goes around robbing people.
There's actually no right answer, in both cases you are going to feel terrible.
