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, if any. 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.
But the first thing you should know is your children's rights when facing interrogation by the police. If you have questions contact our juvenile crime law firm in Littleton and we will explain it to you.
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.
But as for the question regarding the consequences of a conviction, 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. So 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.
Juveniles facing serious charges, or juveniles facing less serious charges but whom 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.
