Which group of children cannot have a CRA initiated by police?

The focus of this question is on the types of children who can be subject to a Child Requiring Assistance (CRA) petition initiated by police. In the context of juvenile law, different categories of children have different eligibility for CRA interventions.

Habitually truant children are typically dealt with through educational and welfare systems rather than criminal justice approaches taken by police. The problem of truancy is primarily addressed through school officials who work with families and social services to address the underlying issues causing the child's absence from school.

On the other hand, runaway children, sexually exploited children, and stubborn children may have circumstances that warrant police involvement. Runaway children often are in unsafe situations that require immediate intervention, while sexually exploited children face serious risks that necessitate police action for their protection. Stubborn children may also present challenges that fall under the purview of law enforcement due to behaviors that may endanger them or others.

Thus, habitual truancy is primarily an educational issue and does not typically involve the criteria that would allow police to initiate a CRA, making this group distinct from the others listed.
