A young child is more likely to be overwhelmed by a large - crowded room full of faces and voices and to perceive the judge as being "high above" due to their smaller stature and less - developed social and environmental understanding. The other details do not specifically indicate a young age.

Wright notes being overwhelmed by faces and voices and describes the judge as being "high above."
