The account you're speaking of is found at Acts 7:58.

Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul, explains it at Acts 22:20

When God's servant, Stephen, was being killed for his support of Jesus, Saul was a young pharisee who hated Christians. When those who witnessed against Stephen prepared to stone Stephen to death (Deuteronomy 17:7), Saul was happy to watch their coats for them while they did the killing, feeling he was doing God's will.(John 16:2)(Acts 8:1).

Later, as the apostle Paul, he was sincerely sorry for these actions and was grateful for God's forgiveness.(1 Timothy 1:12-15)

Allowed is too strong of a term.

It would be up to the parents and if they defer, it would be up to the young witness.

In Act 3 Scene 1 of Richard III, Richard says " So wise so young, they say, do never live long." as an aside after a remark by his nephew Prince Edward. His meaning is that when people that young are that clever, they can expect to die soon. Although Edward's death did not in the least depend on his cleverness.
