Apropos of this thread.
Could some one explain the logic of trying children as adults in the US?
In most developed countries, the concept of legal majority means a legal infant (under the age of majority) cannot be tried as an adult, no matter what crime has been committed.
This is the case in Australia, as well as in the PRC.
The age of majority in mainland China is 18. As far as I'm aware a person younger than 18 cannot be tried as an adult.
