It's funny how many people don't understand the nature of evil at all. They think it's something supernatural, a demonic force that some people are possessed by and others aren't. That's not how it works, and that mentality actually makes it easier to commit evil yourself.
Evil is something very human. Probably, the kid's telling the truth, and he asked the officer about his kid's age for his own conscience. Killers have a conscience like everyone else, except it gets overruled by the most powerful emotion a human can feel, which is fear. The brain is not a single entity, thinking evil or good thoughts, it is a complex structure comprised of many different parts responsible for different motivations and impulses. That's why the only way to combat evil is to recognize that it is within each of us, you and me included. Because otherwise, you can always find a way to justify that evil, because everyone thinks of themselves as a "good" person.
