The consequences facing a juvenile who gets in trouble vary widely depending on the circumstances of the offense and the juvenile's prior criminal history. That's why you need to retain the Iyer Law Office, a juvenile crime law firm in Littleton to make sure your child gets all the advantages possible.
Juveniles facing serious charges, or juveniles facings less serious charges but who have prior criminal records, may face detention or probationary sentences of up to two years.
The most severely delinquent youth can be sentenced to the Department of Youth Corrections (DYC) for up to two years.
A court may order that the child be committed to Department of Human Services, placed with social services, placed in a hospital, or order the child to complete anger management treatment or any other appropriate treatment program.
First
time offenders may be offered juvenile diversion, an alternative to
formal prosecution designed to keep juvenile offenders out of the court
system, yet hold them accountable for any wrongdoing. As long as the
juvenile successfully completes diversion, the juvenile will not have
any conviction record, and will not be required to pay any court fines
or court costs.
All children should know their rights when facing interrogation by the police. If you want to know more, contact our juvenile crime law firm in Littleton and we will explain what the law is and whether or not the police followed the law.
Statements
or admissions made by a juvenile in response to a custodial
interrogation of a juvenile by a law enforcement officer, concerning
delinquent acts alleged to have been committed by the juvenile, cannot be admitted as evidence against the juvenile unless a parent or legal guardian was present during that interrogation. This is very important to know.
Also, the juvenile and his parents must be advised of the juvenile's rights prior to the law enforcement agent initiating any such interrogation. It is important that you contact a juvenile crime law firm in Littleton prior to your child making any statements to the police.
