Rhode Island S2046 prohibits family court from detaining or committing youth aged 12 or younger to a training school for offenses other than murder.

Rhode Island S2046 amends the state's family court procedures to prevent the detention or commitment of youth aged 12 or younger to a training school for offenses other than murder, first degree sexual assault, or attempts to commit such offenses. The bill ensures that youth under 12 years old cannot be placed in a training school unless it is determined that there is no other reasonable placement to ensure the safety of the youth and the general public. This change aims to protect younger children from being placed in training schools for non-violent offenses.
