It is up to the prosecutor to determine how to charge them. They weigh the factors and the record of the minor when making their determination.
If the crime committed can be considered a crime only an adult would commit then the 11 year old can be charged as an adult. For example intentional murder. But this is strictly up to the judge.
No. The age of majority in TN (the age which you are an adult) is 18. A 17-year-old can be charged as an adult if they commit a crime, but that's an entirely different issue. They do not have the rights of an adult until they turn 18.
The same kind of violation that an adult would be charged with under the same circumstances. Only the venue of the court or hearing is changed.
Punishments are set by state laws and are not universal. Conspiracy to commit first degree murder is a quite an offense. The 17 year old will probably be charged as an adult, and he should be prepared to serve around twenty years if convicted.
If someone is 18 or older they are charged as adults. Someone that is younger then 18 can't be charged as adult.
Tell an adult. This is not something to mess around with and needs an adult to handle it. They could mean what they say or are just trying to get attention, but only a trained adult can figure this out.
No. You are charged as an adult.
A teenage can be charged with stealing at any age! Can he be charged as an adult? Perhaps, especially if he is a repeat offender. Juveniles very rarely get charged as an adult for stealing. But the age of 18, still albeit a teenage year, is the magic age-- one in which he becomes an adult, and therefore is charged as an adult for any crime he commits.
Juvenile because juveniles aren't charged as badly as adults.
Contact and inform a responsible adult like a parent, teacher or the police without delay.
Can he or she be charged as an adult? yes. Will he or she be charged as an adult, that's something ONLY the judge can answer. Its up to the judge to decide that so hope that he is merciful. But its not likely on a charge like that. sense its not a felony i doubt he gets tried as an adult.
This varies from place to place. Yes. In my area of Canada the prosecution has to show that the Teenager was operating at level of an adult That the crime is of sufficient violence or depravity to require an adult penalty.
