Children under the age of 17 in Georgia that are first time offenders accused of a seven deadly crime are being convicted as adults. The cases are not reviewed in the juvenile system and the child in not even given assessment before moving the case to Superior court. There was a case in Georgia where two 15 year olds had intercourse and the father walked in. The father pressed charges against the male and in return the other child's parents pressed charges against the daughter. Both of the children were charged with child molestation. In Georgia the age of consent is 16. How can you charge children with molesting each other when neither is of the age of consent? These laws should be reviewed. Due to the seriousness of the charges and age of the children a complete assessment should be given as well as a juvenile hearing before the case is moved to Superior court. There are children incarcerated and facing 10-60 years on first offense charges for crimes committed when they were under 16. There is no law allowing first time offender children a juvenile trial. Many children end up in adult court from start to finish or sign pleas that they don’t understand. The seven deadly laws should not apply to children under 17 with no prior criminal activity. First time offender child deserve rehabilitation, mentoring and counseling as well as an initial juvenile hearing.
