No! A status offense is ONLY something that would not be a crime if the juvenile were an adult: running away, breaking curfew, skipping school. There may be others, but those are examples.
Anything that is a crime if you are an adult is not a status offense for a juvenile.

Why should the juvenile court not punish children?
If the juvenile has simply gotten into trouble as a repeat runaway; into trouble without harming other people and the juvenile has remorse then the courts should not punish the juvenile, but they could use 'house arrest' or a parole officer to contain the actions of juvenile if they continue to get into trouble. If the juvenile has committed a serious crime such as murder then they should be held in a Juvenile facility until they are old enough to go to court for that murder and should receive the punishment in accordance to that State's law.

What is the difference between detained juveniles and committed juveniles?
Detained, in reference to rehab, or a mental type institution means that they are there under observation and may receive some minor treatments. If the juvenile does not respond well to treatment, then the option to commit opens. If they confirm a reason to commit, then they are committed. Once committed, they are wards until they are deemed safe to themselves and others. If you are referring to being detained at a correctional facility, it is a bit different. Being detained in a correctional facility (jail or juvenile hall) means that the juvenile will be held until bail is submitted or if there is no bail, until court. If bail is set and the juvenile gets out on bail, that juvenile is still considered detained until court.
