The main characters being children adds a real sense of danger to the story as children can and are absolutely horrible to each other verbally and physically and the sense of foreboding came from the sense of not knowing what they are capable of.
Silly childish behaviour has real world consequences beyond the imagination of the instigators and even simple actions are not black and white and lead to dangerous assumptions being made.
