The laws are not different and the charges don't change just because the perpetrator is a juvenile. It is the manner in which the juvenile is processed, tried and treated that can be different from adult offenders. Threatening someone with a deadly weapon is a serious charge and the 12 year old can expect receive harsher penalty than... say... throwing a snowball at a schoolbus, for instance.
