Young people (Children) have the same amount of bones as an adult. All our bones are already grown or in a growing stage at birth. They only develop as we grow. The amount of bones stays the same for a child and an adult.

A baby has more number of bones as in the growing process many bones fuse together and form a large bone thus a baby have more bones. An excellent example is the soft-spot on a baby's head.
