Children who are charged with crimes are normally prosecuted through the juvenile justice system. Depending on the crime, they may be given probation, community service, juvenile detention (juvy), or alternate custody programs (such as wilderness boot camp.) Most juvenile records can be expunged when the child turns 18.

In very limited cases, a child can be charged as an adult for a crime. This is normally limited to only the most serious crimes, such as homicide or rape. In that case, the child is treated like an adult.

If you were with a person who committed the crime, you are an accessory to a crime. (There are exceptions. It depends on what you mean by the word with. If you were with a person and totally unaware he was going to commit a crime and did nothing to participate in the crime, there may be an exception. I know of one case where a woman discovered she was with a drug dealer. She took her stuff and walked to the bus station and caught a bus. The law left her alone.)
