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 a 10-year-old commits a crime, they are generally considered too young to be held fully responsible for their actions. The focus in such cases would be on rehabilitation and education rather than punishment. The child may be referred to juvenile court or social services for appropriate intervention and support.
