Govt resolute in allowing 10yos to be treated as criminals

Repeated calls from the United Nations, child advocates and medical experts, to raise the minimum age a child can be prosecuted for a crime, are going unheeded.
At just 10 years old, a child can’t smoke, drink or have their own Facebook page, but they can be held criminally responsible for violent crimes such as murder or manslaughter.
