[QUOTE="Martie, post: 32701, member: 284"] I don't know anything about Florida, but here it is the policy (or not) of the newspaper to list minors who are charged with both misdemeanors and felonies. Where I live, the paper lists 17 and up. Regarding what Janet said about the age of 7: In English Common Law, children under the age of 7 were not thought to have reached the age of reason, and therefore could not be held responsible for their "crimes." So far so good....However, if you were 7 in Merry Olde England, having attained reason, you would be eligible for capital punishment for such offenses as stealing bread. So the U.S. may have been the last industrialized country to (finally) prohibit the execution of minors, it certainly did not start the practice. Martie [/QUOTE]
