My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Missouri. My granddtr is 17 now. She had a child at 16. She comes from bad parents and now her 2 younger sisters have been put in state custody. Granddtr is living with a boyfriend's family, with her child. She receives no support from anywhere. While she was 16, a girl was hitting her youngest sister and granddtr stepped in and hit the girl. When the police arrived, they pulled her off the girl. A year later the PA is filing Class A misdemeanor charges for Assault. They have told her that she will be charged as an adult because she has a child and that automatically made her an adult. She only has an 8th grade education. Is she automatically considered an adult because she had a child?
