Most people say age 13 is the age of accountability. Some say 13, from the Jewish tradition of bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah(girl). I have even heard it argued, the age of accountability is 20, because in the wilderness G-d held everyone 20 and over accountable, except Caleb and Joshua, and could not enter the promise land. And of course, I have always been taught those with mental illness are always considered under the age of accountability. Is there an age? what is it? What is considered mental illness?
I bring up this topic for a specific reason. Tonight, at work we had a 13-year-old die because he hung himself, it was his heart actually why he died, but the consequence from hanging himself; I work in a trauma center emergency department. I am just sad. (side note)
