Specific responsibilities are as follows:
1, minors under the age of 14 do not need to bear criminal responsibility for committing crimes;
2. Minors who have reached the age of 16 commit crimes and should bear criminal responsibility;
3. Minors who have reached the age of 14 but under the age of 16 shall bear criminal responsibility for the crime of intentional injury, resulting in serious consequences such as serious injury and death. The specific term of imprisonment needs to be comprehensively determined according to the means of crime and the harmful consequences. A minor who cuts a person with a knife and causes serious injury to the other party is a crime of intentional injury. According to the law, it is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. As for the number of years of fixed-term imprisonment, many factors should be considered comprehensively. Among them, minor crimes will be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. If the criminal suspect and the victim reach a compensation agreement and obtain the understanding of the victim, the judicial organ may give a lighter or mitigated punishment. Murder by minors has constituted a criminal offence, and the responsibility is borne by minors themselves, without the responsibility of guardians. The guardian of a minor only bears civil liability, and if the minor's behavior causes losses to the other party, the guardian shall make compensation. A guardian refers to a person who, as a guardian of a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct, performs guardianship duties in accordance with the direct provisions of the law. According to the regulations, legal guardians include legal guardians of minors and legal guardians of mental patients.
The legal responsibilities of minors are as follows:
1. Civil liability. Minors should bear criminal responsibility independently, and parents should not bear criminal responsibility. If the criminal acts of minors cause economic losses to the state, the collective and others, according to the corresponding provisions of the Civil Code, the parents or guardians of minors shall bear all civil liability for compensation;
2. Legal supervision responsibility: Parents have corresponding moral responsibility for juvenile delinquency and legal guardianship responsibility for the growth of minors. Parents who are lazy in exercising their guardianship responsibilities shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
To sum up, people under the age of 14 are minors and do not need to bear criminal responsibility, and minors under the age of 12 are not criminally responsible for hacking; Hacked to death a minor who has reached the age of 14, which constitutes intentional homicide, and is sentenced to death, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years or more; If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.
