Frequently Asked Questions

A juvenile is any individual who is under the chronological age of eighteen years and has not been previously transferred to adult court.

A judge decides what happens to juveniles accused of breaking the law, or whose parents cannot care for them, or whose behavior makes them "at risk" or "in need of services."

The term "parent" as used here means the juvenile's parent, legal guardian, or custodian.  Parents are an important part of juvenile court.  Studies show that when a parent goes to a diversion meeting or comes to court, the juvenile has a better chance of staying out of trouble in the future.
