Sage Ruiz Grady During the 2021 legislative session, the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) decided we should stop arresting children kind of. This year, the CGA passed a bill (the JJPOC bill) that raises the minimum age of arrest from 7-years-old to 10-years-old. Previously, children as young as 7 could be charged and arrested in Connecticut. In most cases, these children were arrested for misdemeanor charges which were often later dropped. As a mother of a 7-year-old and someone who was arrested as a young person, I know firsthand how damaging the juvenile system can be in its treatment of our youth. It breaks my heart to think of the children in our state who have been subjected to the inhumane treatment and trauma of an arrest. We must continue working to raise the floor for when a young person can be arrested. According to the United Nations, the minimum age for court involvement should be at least 12. Let’s start there.
