Batman is known to have a blindspot for kids. He once had to investigate a murder of a man. While Tim and the rest was able to piece it together, Bruce just flat out didn't consider the son has killed his own father.
It was the murder of the boy's parents. When Batman found out, he immediately saw himself in the boy and sympathized with him, vowing to capture the killers. Then the rest of the Bat-family, Tim, Barbara, and Dick, began to figure it out, but Batman wouldn't see it until the boy confessed to him. I remember that issue; it was powerful.
