If the person (he or she ) is under 16 years of age it is considered a status offense and not a crime punishable by jail time. It is important to know though that even being as young as 13 you can still be charged as an adult for certain crimes included but not limited to murder 1st arson 1st as well as others. If you have additional law questions that need quick answers it would be a good idea to contact a law firm.
