A child below the age of 10 years old cannot be guilty of a criminal offence. A child aged between 10-17 inclusive may find themselves involved with the criminal justice system.
In todays society where children have access to the internet and social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and What’s App, they are much more vulnerable to illegal activity, which they themselves may not realise.
At Eventum Legal our dedicated youth lawyers understand the consequences of a criminal investigation and court proceedings can have on a child, their future and their family.
