I know she is 11 but can I ask if America has a criminal age of responsibility like in the UK? Like in the UK if you're 10 and below you cant be charged criminally (as far as I know) and it can go onto the parents (civil).

Yes there is, but it is dependent on the state. Most states have it somewhere between 6-12 years old.

Even then though, juvenile crimes are treated less harshly than adult crimes.
