Absolutely, my niece was 14 years old, and was raped, and murdered by a 16 year old next door neighbor kid. He beat her to death with a claw hammer, while he was on an ankle bracelet. My sister sued the State and won too. He is in Pendleton maximum security prison for the rest of his life. He received 3 life sentences to be served consecutively. He will never get out.

depends on your state actually. a child-under the age of 8-there is discretion for criminal law. civil laws are different-you can sue anyone. what state are you in? I may be able to find you a link.

Yes, there are statutes of limitations in Oregon, as well as every state in the union. In Oregon, there is no limit for murder, conpiraacy to commit murder, or any degree of manslaughter. Most felony sexual crimes are limited to 6 years or if the victim is under 18, until the child's 30th birthday or 12 years from the first report of the act to an official, whichever is sooner. Misdemeanor sexual crimes are limited to 4 years or the child's 22nd birthday or 4 years from the first notice. Arson is limited to 6 years. All other felonies are limited to 3 years, misdemeanors to 2, and violations to 6 months.\n\nThere are also several exceptions. If fraud is a material part of the offense, the limit is one year from the discovery of the offense. If the offense is committed in office by a public official, it is limited to 2 years from when the official leaves office. Also, rape is limited to 12 years if the attacker is identified by the basis of DNA evidence. In addition, the time does not run when the defendent is out of state or hides in the state to prevent being caught. In no event is the limit extended more than 3 years by any of these means.

it all depends.  It has a lot to do with how many other crimes a minor has been convicted of and stuff like that it also depends on the age because a person my be still considered a minor by the state they might not be by the crimes they commit on how harsh they are.  It is really on a case by case basis

All crimes require intent. Murder[1] requires "intent to kill"\nThe intent is clearly lacking in this case. So even if it was an Adult he could not be convicted of murder.\nThis is at most negligent homicide[2]. I.E. a person failed to removed the pillow by negligence and let a child die.\nSo if it was an adult he would be convicted of that.\nBut a child is usually deemed not capable of negligence[3] because he cannot foresee the result of his actions. \nSo there would be no charges.

I'm pretty sure most district courts have programs for problem kids.  I'd either inquire with the court for your area, or check with your local police department.

Under 20? I'm guessing under 13.

Check with local/state laws.\nSome places have a minimum age under which a child cannot go door to door without parent supervision.

NY state statutes set no age under 18 when a child is legally considered old enough to stay home alone. Thus parents are left with many case-by-case judgments, and prosecutors with vast discretion if something goes wrong.  With that said, prepare your kids, trust your kids and decide based upon your judgement of their abilities and be prepared to defend your decision if "god forbid" an unfortunate situation  requires you to.

Depends on the facts of the case.  Is the older sister of age?  Were there any tragic outcomes (traffic crash, DUI arrest, death, etc.)? \n\nIf nothing happened, it is likely to be a Class A misdemeanor, which means a fine of at least $500 and up to 1 year in prison for a first offense.  \n\nHere is a link to some general information:\n\nhttp://www.fightunderagedrinking.org/state_prof/Illinois.pdf

This varies from state to state.\n\nAs of 2005:  "14 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Tennessee) have enacted buffer zones that prohibit sex offenders from residing within close proximity to a school, park, day care center, or school bus stop. The least restrictive distance requirement is in Illinois (500 ft), but most common are 1,000- to 2,000-ft boundaries. California law does not allow certain sex offenders on parole to live within a quarter mile of an elementary school and prohibits parolees from living within 35 miles of a victim or witness."

This varies by jurisdiction.  Mine has no age description.  Use common sense and knowledge of your child's own abilities-including stranger danger.\n\nIf they're of school age, call the school.  They will know.

Since Michigan law has no minimum age for charging a child as an adult for murder, the maximum would likely be life. Non-violent crime, like the one Amy committed, does not apply, so she would likely not be charged at all, especially if she cooperates.
