Answer 1

I don't know about anywhere else but in Australia if you are under 10 you cannot be held criminally responsible.

Answer 2

They can arrest and charge anyone of just about any age for anything.

Usually it's the parents that pay for the minors actions.

Answer 3

Most states will not criminally charge someone with a felony unless they are age 10 or over. It varies from state to state.  

Answer 4

he can.  5 year olds can be taken in for murder.  that 8 year old that you "know" is a douche bag who will continue to break the law.  sad.

Answer 5

.  It is possible for an arrest for 8 years old.

Answer 6

Why wasn't this kid better raised?  Nothing will happen to him, but his parents would be in a lot of trouble if he'd have hit someone's car.
