A: No one could tell you for sure what would happen prior to a judge hearing evidence in a case. However, it sounds like these kids need representation from an attorney who will look out for their futures. Depending on the charges, the kids' lives could be impacted in a negative way.

I would recommend seeking help from a criminal defense attorney to work towards getting the best outcome for the children.
