Children's Court

Children’s Court is a specialized court that handles legal matters involving minors, typically those under 18. It focuses on cases where a child's safety, well-being, or behavior is in question. This includes cases of juvenile misconduct, such as petty crimes or behavioral issues, as well as issues related to child protection, like abuse or neglect. The court aims to balance accountability with rehabilitation, prioritizing the child's best interests. Proceedings are often more private and less formal than adult courts, and decisions may include measures like counseling, supervision, or other support services designed to help young people make positive changes.
