He was charged with four counts of vehicle theft, four counts of entering a vehicle, and a few more that I’d have to look at for the specifics. He was detained on 10/16 and disposition was on 10/24.

It depends on what you are on probation for. If you were convicted of a sex offense, contact with minors might violate a condition of your parole. If you were convicted of something other than a sex offense, then mere "dating" is generally not illegal. But a physical relationship could... View More

I'm not sure what BCA is supposed to be, but your parents are allowed to discipline you for leaving school without their permission if they so choose.

She can be charged with assault or domestic violence.
Your daughter should not talk about the situation with anyone and she should consult with a criminal defense attorney if she believes that she may be charged with a crime.
My mother is not okay with me and him dating. Is their something we can do to see if I can get in legal trouble.

You are at risk because he is a minor and you are an adult. Get birth control, gardasil shots and wait until he is 17.
When a student requests a parent be present before answering any questions does this effectively create a 5th Amendment protection from further questioning until the parent arrives?

By you placing your child into school you are making the the temporary guardians. This is arguable, but the best thing to do is tell your child to not speak and just keep telling the principle or teacher that they want there parent present. If a police officer shoes up, then ask for an attorney,... View More
does a legal guardian have to come and get them out or can anyone over the age of 18 legally get them out of custody?
answered on Nov 4, 2019
A little bit more info is needed, as it all depends on how and for what the minor was detained. The courts are also VERY wary of sharing any information about juvenile proceedings with the public (even relatives) so a lawyer is very useful in fast-tracking any potential release.
answered on Nov 2, 2019
Yes. The relevant statute of limitations is what is important.
A 16 year is called (A) to the office in the presence of a police officer and questioned but the student says he does not want to discuss the matter until his parent is called; the police want to search the student for a vape-based on a rumor from another student (B) and (A), who has no prior...

Great question, but the answer is a bit complex. The complexity comes in the form of an overriding issue of safety of the other students. Now, considering the accusation is only of a vaping product, they are standing on thin ice with the argument of public safety. Asking for the parent to be... View More

By "local" do you mean one at your location in Florida? It is doubtful that you will be able to find a Florida attorney licensed to practice law in North Dakota. It would be better to find an attorney in North Dakota.
and hitting in her in the back of the neck because she took his scooter. if she hit him back when pinned against the wall?

They both could be charged in juvenile court. However, it is probably best settled between the parties and parents if possible.
answered on Oct 30, 2019
Since you are asking the question, no, you should not. A minor has to be aged 17 to consent to any touching behavior.

Are you changing venue as in moving from one county in Va. to another county? Or, are you changing to a new state?
If moving county to county, then Va. Code § 16.1-243(B) applies. "2. Custody and visitation: In custody and visitation cases, if venue lies in one of several cities or... View More

Without more information about your particular case, it is difficult to answer. Dependency cases depend greatly on specific facts. Generally speaking, Georgia DFCS may have the authority to take an allegedly deprived child into state custody, and afterwards, a child dependency action must take... View More

Your aunt has legal custody, so she is legally obligated to provide proper care for you. She can't just pass that off to your grandmother. Your aunt can get in trouble for not providing for you. And if you go live somewhere else, both you and the person you move in with can get in trouble.... View More

Ohio law says you are the victim of criminal sexual abuse, whether you agree with that or not. A crime has been committed. You were under the age of consent. The prosecutor is not likely to drop it even if you do get married. The father's abuse can be proven by DNA testing. And it is a... View More
