As per the latest amendment to Thailand’s Penal Code, criminal responsibility can now legally be prescribed to juveniles between the ages of 12 and 15, instead of 10 and 15.

 

Traisulee Traisoranakul, deputy government spokesperson, said the amendment was proposed by the Justice Ministry and corresponds to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

 

The improvement was done in line with the Universal Periodic Review, in which each UN member state’s human-rights record is assessed.

It's absurd to move from 10 to 12.  The little bar_steeds need to be punished hard to dissuaded them from future crimes.  And if they are committing crimes at 10, so be it.  No visitation, no cell phone, isolation for the duration and basic food like fish head soup and rice every meal.  No mollycoddling and worst of all......old fart music 24/7!
