Damn. In Maryland it's 8. I guess maybe Illinois was just occasionally running into specific situations they didn't like, since it's at their discretion? I can't imagine a non-special needs middle schooler that wouldn't be able to handle themselves for a little while.

I find it baffling, but then I see some people's kids that are much older and incapable. There is no specific discretion in the law, the law is strait forward, but all police, prosecutors, and most of the time the caseworkers, have some levels of assumed-reasonable discretion expressly given to them for their application of all rules and law.
