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.
