You can not be charged with a criminal offence until you are twelve years old. If you commit a serious criminal offence before that the children's aid society will get involved and you will be assessed by a psychiatrist.

This does not happen very often. If you are a kid, the court wants to try to give your family the help it may need and try to prevent whatever occurred from happening again.
If it happens again, or is serious, you can be placed out of your home by the court. This may be a juvenile detention facility, a foster home, or a treatment facility. Kids cannot be jailed.

18 is the age in which you'll go toa real jail.
But if you did something bad enough you deserve the punishment you'll get.Don't let it happen again young blood.
