Most states have in their statutes an "Age of Reason." That is an age at which it can be reasonably certain that a juvenile knows, and can comprehend, the results of his/her actions and behavior. I am familiar with one jurisdiction in which this age is set at 7 years. Therefore: One can conclude that someone who has passed whatever 'age of reason' standard had been passed in their state could be prosecuted as an adult.
