Undiscovered Sins of Youth: Indiana's Jurisdictional Gap When Child Molesting Committed by a Juvenile is not Discovered Until Adulthood	2023	25	.pdf	application/pdf	12076	574	59	However, D.P. was twenty-three years old when the State filed the petition.46 As for N.B., the petition alleged that when N.B. was between the ages of twelve and fifteen, he fondled his younger cousin, thus also committing child molesting if committed by an adult.47 Similar to D.P., N.B. was twenty-one when the State filed the petition.48 After filing the petitions, the State’s strategy was to argue for waiver from juvenile court to adult court since juvenile court under M.C. loses jurisdiction once the individual turns twenty-one.49 Although there is not a particular statute that expressly confers this sliver of jurisdiction to conduct waiver hearings after the individual turns twenty-one, the State argued that the entirety of the juvenile justice framework evidences legislative intent to give juvenile courts this partial jurisdiction in order to waive now-adults into adult court.50 But it took until the early nineteenth century for the idea to separate youth offenders from adult criminals to arise.76 The establishment of the New York House of Refuge in 1825 launched a movement to provide a separate housing facility for youth deemed by authorities to be on a delinquent path.77 Following this movement and the creation of different kinds of youth houses across America focusing on areas like probation and out-of-home placement, the first juvenile court sprang to life.78 Established in Cook County, Illinois, in 1899,79 the first juvenile court sought to provide individualized rehabilitation and supervision, not solely punishment.80 From there, juvenile court systems began to develop in each state and have seen ever-fluctuating trends around juvenile rights, procedure, and appropriate sentencing practices.81 Today, the early belief that youth lacked full moral and cognitive development—and thus should be treated separately from adults—holds true.	cache/inlawrev-27230.pdf	txt/inlawrev-27230.txt
