They were court-martialled, found guilty of espionage and, on May 18, 1942, driven to the base of Tavurvur volcano in the back of an open truck. Marjorie [his mother] tied a strip of red material, cut from a native lap-lap, around Dickie’s head to cover his eyes. They were led from the truck and lined up. Marjorie held one of Dickie’s hands, Ted Harvey [stepfather] the other, and on the order of Japanese naval officer Mizusaki Shojiro, a firing squad of six soldiers shot them dead

Just read the article.
Didn’t sound like espionage, more along the lines of survival. But staying allowed Darwinism to win out
I seem to remember the execution of a child during the American Revolution by the British

Broadway's greatest prank: newspaper ad placed by producer David Merrick, in which 7 people w/the same names as the critics lavish praise on his show Subways Are for Sleeping (1962).
The NY Times discovered the ruse and killed the ad, but this early edition of the Herald-Tribune went out with the ad intact.
Merrick had dreamed up this stunt years earlier, but could not go through with it until the retirement of Times critic Brooks Atkinson (hardly a common name).
More about the hoax

If we want to constrain the Chinese the best way would be to remove the military restrictions we placed on Japan at the end of WW2. The Japanese did some of their worst deeds against the Chinese.
Brutal might be an understatement.
