While adults are charged with their crimes, children who are not being tried as adults have a(n) of complaint filed against them. a. document b. petition c. ordinance d. indictment

The answer to this question is the letter "B" which is "petition". Adults charged with crimes, this is common but when children who are not being tried as adults have a "petition" of complaint against them because they are not under the legal age. They might go in rehabilitation shelters designed for children.
