When the child is under fourteen years old, they cannot be punished at all, whatever crime they committed. This is why the children under fourteen years (international age) old are called “criminal minors.”

Children under nineteen years old (international age) can be sent to the Juvenile Department instead of the criminal court, and they get “protective detention” instead of “punishment.”
