1. If a minor is dissatisfied with 16 years old and fights, criminal cases will generally not be filed;
2. Minors who fight and fight are ringleaders or active participants, and if the circumstances are serious, they should be placed on file for the crime of stirring up trouble.
Minors under the age of 14 are still in infancy, lack of social knowledge, and have no ability to foresee the consequences of their actions and take responsibility. For these minors who violate the administration of public security, education should be given priority, so that they can distinguish right from wrong and no longer be punished, which is more conducive to their growth. However, not punishing them does not mean leaving them alone. Their guardians should be ordered to strictly discipline them to prevent them from continuing to endanger society. For minors who have reached the age of 14 but are under the age of 18, considering that they have certain control and discrimination ability, but their thoughts are not fully mature, they should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment.
