Children under 13 would not be prosecuted under proposed bill

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:33 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A proposed bipartisan bill that would no longer allow children 12 and under to be prosecuted for crimes has stirred a fiery controversy. House Bill 23-1249 upset some police chiefs so much, they showed up at the Colorado Capitol on Wednesday, pleading with lawmakers not to move forward with the measure. There were also parents pleading with lawmakers, saying the bill would be a huge mistake. The bill changes the minimum age a child can be prosecuted by a juvenile court.

Some of them say it would encourage adults to have children do their dirty work. "The adults started figuring out that they ...
