Answer:

I think it should depend on what they do. And how old they are. For example is a kid that is 16 and he murders his friend then he should be tried as an adult. But be put in his own cell for safety reasons. It always depends on age under 18 and the crime they did.

Answer:

Nope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just a detail to back it up : One reason why minors should not be treated the same as adults when committing crimes is that the consequences given to minors in adult court would have a negative impact on their life.
