Child and Teenager Statute


Explanation:
Even though the word "adolescent" exists in English, it's not widely used. Instead the word "teenager" (technically, ages 13-19) is the appropriate counterpart.

Of course, since the word dies exist, one would expect that there might be a number of prior "translations" using "adolescent", based on dictionary entries, but contrary to common usage.
