In the United States most states have enacted a Juvenile Code that is applicable to persons not old enough to be held responsible for criminal acts. The Federal Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Act defines juvenile delinquency and sets forth rules regarding court procedures and punishment.
You need to do a state by state review to determine how each state handles juvenile delinquency. See related links.

What rights do adults have that juveniles don't?
In the US, I can't think of one that comes immediately to mind. As a matter of fact, juveniles actually enjoy more, and better, protection in the court process than adults do, and are treated more leniently besides.In McKeiver v. Pennsylvania, (1971) the Court ruled the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial does not extend to juvenile court proceedings, because the intent of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate, and a jury trial creates a more adversarial environment that can undermine that goal.In 1971, no states offered jury trials in juvenile court. As of 2009, ten states grant the right of juveniles to jury trials, and another eleven states allow jury trials under limited circumstances.Often, US Supreme Court decisions follow trends in state courts. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the Court may extend 6th Amendment protection to children and teens.

If those are the only debts, the question becomes, what is the statute of limitations on the debt and the judgments.

If the debts and judgments are no longer collectible, why file? Nothing prevents you from filing, however.

Unless it is possible to pay the monies owed to bring the entire delinquency amount current to stop the foreclosure sale, there are two other options.

Most states have a right of redemption period following an auction, but it requires the delinquency be paid up within a short period of time in order to reclaim the property.
