answer:No. You can report a crime at any age. Your age becomes a question when you become a witness in court. If the testimony of the person who reports the crime is integral to the prosecution’s case, and the witness is very young—like five or six—there may be a competency hearing before their testimony can be submitted. It must be proven that they know the difference between right and wrong. But anyone can report a crime. For example, young children are encouraged to report inappropriate behavior committed upon them by adults and often become the prosecution’s main witness in court during the offender’s trial.
