How old is the law on the protection of minors?
The Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that minors are under the age of 18, but it does not mean that crimes will not be punished. Those who are under the age of 14 shall not bear criminal responsibility, and those who are over the age of 14 and under the age of 16 shall be given a lighter or mitigated criminal punishment; 16 years of age or older, shall bear criminal responsibility.
Minors enjoy the rights of survival, development, protection and participation, and the state gives special and priority protection to minors according to their physical and mental development characteristics to ensure that their legitimate rights and interests are not infringed. Protecting minors is the common responsibility of state organs, armed forces, political parties, people's organizations, enterprises and institutions, social organizations, urban and rural grassroots mass autonomous organizations, guardians of minors and other adults. The state, society, schools and families should educate and help minors to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and enhance their awareness and ability of self-protection.
To sum up, as long as it is a registered legal cinema that plays positive energy movies, minors can of course go in, but some private movie cafes play many movies that are not suitable for teenagers, which will affect their physical and mental health. For these cinemas, minors should not go.
