The Grim Discovery in Hüningen
The lifeless body of this innocent baby girl was discovered on February 20 by a passerby on a field in Hüningen, a district of Steinen, Lörrach district.

The cause of the child's death remains a mystery, as the investigation is still ongoing.
A Look at Juvenile Justice in Germany
In Germany, juvenile offenders are primarily dealt with in Youth Court Act (Jugendgerichtsgesetz), which focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment. The law sees children under 14 as not culpable, while youths aged 14 to 18 may be tried in youth courts. Young adults aged 18 to 21 can be tried in adult courts but may receive lesser sentences if perceived as at a developmental crossroads.
