A couple of things:

1. There is no death toll for the Syrian police and armed forces? That would be interesting. The FSA certainly claims to be killing a lot of them.

2. I wonder if the high rate of children being killed is an artifact. The notes say that only a fraction of the deaths have documented ages. I wonder if the age is more likely to be documented when it is a child, thus raising the percentage.
