I don’t think there’s a magic moment when a person becomes ‘adult.’ A person of 17 years and 11 months old and another person 18 years and three days old aren’t fundamentally different.
This whole trail as an adult is just to give out harsher penalties. Honestly it should be renamed to something else as to avoid these discussions. Something like dangerous child proceedings or some such with appropriate handling
