Judicial proceedings in Spain and Argentina have addressed various cases involving crimes against minors and juvenile legal frameworks.

In Spain, the Supreme Court upheld an 18-year prison sentence for a man convicted of the continuous sexual abuse of two girls in the Canary Islands. Additionally, a court in Málaga sentenced a couple to seven years in prison each for the attempted homicide of their newborn baby, who had been abandoned near a train station.

In Argentina, the Court of Appeals in Rosario ratified a new Juvenile Penal Regime. This ruling establishes the minimum age of criminal responsibility at 14 years, rejecting legal challenges that argued the law was unconstitutional or violated international standards.
