You wouldn't face the legal system alone. Why should your child?
The juvenile justice system, just like the adult system, is adversarial. No matter what you are told the simple fact is law enforcement and prosecutors are working toward ensuring a conviction. As a result, children are often exposed to abuses and denials of their constitutional rights during this process. Make sure that your child has an attorney who understands the nuances of this system including felony bind-overs to adult court, sentencing and DYS, as well treatment providers and residential placement options.
