The proposal would lower the age at which a child can be held criminally responsible from twelve to ten years, require community‑based programs for children under ten, place 10‑15‑year‑olds who commit serious crimes in a special detention center, and allow the state to fine or imprison parents or guardians of children ten or older who commit such crimes.
