12-year-old children unconsciously help others break the law. Is there any responsibility for the accident?

According to the provisions of China's criminal law, a minor aged 12 is a person with limited capacity for civil conduct, and he does not have the capacity to bear criminal responsibility. Therefore, if a person aged 65,438+02 is instigated to commit a crime, the instigated person will not bear criminal responsibility, and the person who instigates the crime by persuasion, seduction, instigation, encouragement, bribe or threat will bear full criminal responsibility for the consequences of the crime committed by the person without criminal responsibility. Under normal circumstances, whoever instigates minors to commit crimes shall be given a heavier punishment.

The reference materials are as follows:
