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.

Explain the difference between the rights ensured for young offoners under the young offenders act and those gauranteed to adult offenders?
I believe the questioner is confusing the term "rights" with "treatment of." Both juveniles and adults possess the same "rights" but the way in which the juvenile offenders acts are written afford much more lenient treatment to juveniles, as opposed to adults charged with identical offenses. This is in an effort to take a wayward juvenile offender who may have made a mis-step due to youth and inexperience, and genltly guide them onto a more law-abiding path.
Salient change In juvenile before In Re Gault case law?
Before the In re Gault case in 1967, juvenile court proceedings were often informal and lacked the due process protections afforded to adults. Juveniles could be detained without proper legal representation, and their rights to a fair hearing were not guaranteed. The landmark decision established that juveniles have the right to counsel, the right to confront witnesses, and the right to a fair hearing, significantly transforming the juvenile justice system to better protect the rights of young individuals. This marked a shift towards recognizing juveniles as individuals deserving of legal protections similar to adults.
