In Canada no one under the age of twelve can be charged with a criminal offence. No charges/court/jail time. The school would have to suspend (or expel) the child and the Child Protection Services would get involved to look into the child's home life to see if they can help/

Don't you mean allegedly?
For those that think they don't put 9 year olds "in the slammer", if you want an eye opener, check out your local Juvenile Hall, also called JUVIE.
They probably won't sentence them to Juvie if it's first time, but if he gets in trouble alot, then they will need to do something. And hopefully he will learn from this and do what is right in the future.

As it is a felony, Assault & Battery on a Public Official, it would depend on the laws of your state.

If it's his first offense, he'll probably get probation. I don't think they're going to put a nine-year-old in the slammer.

In GA 9 year old children can not be punished by any court for any criminal act.

Shame on the parents of this child because they have failed as parents,if the 9 year old was taught morals from home,this would never happen.

Let's see...probation for first offense? nope. Detention, yup. Foster care, yup. Taken away from parents, yup. Parents need counselling right away!

If it's a first offense, he will probably be suspended from school, and ordered to go to a counselor. I highly doubt he will be sent to "juvie".

None. He will be sentenced to receive counseling and put on probation.

Depend on what he did. If he killed the teacher, he could be tried as an adult.
