When juvenile cases are transferred to adult criminal court the process is called a “waiver.” A judge has actually made a finding to waive the protections that juvenile court provides the individual. Juvenile court allows certain protection to those juveniles because of their age. At what point does age not matter as to void all the rights and privileges of a juvenile while he or she is a juvenile? Should the juvenile be made to take a test to determine his or her ability to comprehend their actions? Then if so, he or she can then be transferred, but only if they mentally comprehend their actions and rights just as an adult would. Should this be taken into consideration?
