"Such" used in that context is called an antecedent (from the present participle of Latin antecedere, "to go before"). It was referring to "minors" as previously used in the sentence, so the substitution I included in my edit summary is a useful exercise.

However, as is often the case, I found it better to reword the phrase altogether than to debate about English usage and grammar.
