NC bill takes aim at prosecution of 6-year-olds By Bryan Anderson CDC: children’s summer camps should continue social distancing, mask-wearing The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its COVID-19 guidelines for children's summer camps. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Children as young as 6 can be prosecuted in North Carolina juvenile court — the lowest age set by law in the country — but a bipartisan effort would raise the minimum age of delinquency to 10 and move the state out of its status at the bottom. More than 2,100 complaints were filed against nearly 1,150 youth under 10 during the three fiscal years from 2016 to 2019, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, with Black children disproportionately accused of wrongdoing. The data shows 211 children ages 6 to 9 appeared before a judge, including 54 ultimately found responsible for the complaints.
