This is all dependant upon what charges are brought by the Orosecution. Juvenile Court is different because the primary goal is to rehabilitate the child, not so much punish.
The best course of conduct is to obtain an experienced attorney.

What is the question?
My 14 year old daughter was sexting with a 14 year old boy, he asked for inappropriate photos and sadly she sent them. The boy then turned her in because she wouldn't do anything else. I am told police confirmed the photos are still there (a week and a half later they interviewed the boy)... View More

It depends on exactly what your daughter was charged with. When you say a "citation," that tells me that things may be happening before your local Magisterial District Judge ("MDJ") -- versus, say, a referral to juvenile court and a formal petition for delinquency. If so, the... View More

No. They could report her as a runaway, and you could face charges for contributing to her delinquency.

Yes, you could be returned home. Or you could go to juvenile detention as a runaway.

You can report it to law enforcement, and perhaps you should. However, you should be aware that they will make the decision on whether or not to pursue it and, if they do, you can't dismiss the case if you change your mind later.
I am a 17 year old turning 18 in four months. I graduated from high school and live in a toxic environment that I wish to leave.

Your could be reported as a runaway, and that could be a problem for you and anyone who might help you. Talk to other family members or your local child services agency.

A judge has a lot of latitude to say what he feels will impact someone he is speaking to or sentencing or ruling on a request for ROR or lowered bond etc. Judges have an ethical duty to be courteous and to treat every person who comes before the court with dignity.... View More

I would suggest having a full, thorough consultation with an attorney, as I am unclear as to the details.
Can she legally take me back? Even if she has a court order from Puerto Rico can she take me back? She threatened me to get a court order but I’ve been living in Florida 8 months. I turn 21 in two months.
He has wanted me to live with him for a while, i have a better relationship with him than my mom and step-dad. Those 2 abuse//hit me when there mad at me.

Hello. We would need to talk to your father I suppose. This is probably your only option right now. Hang in there.

No, if he tries to move away without your permission, then you can call the police and have him brought home or detained in juvenile as a runaway.
I am 17 years old and I don’t want to stay at home anymore. It’s not a healthy environment. I did research and I found that in some states you can’t be forced to come back home at 17 if you runaway. I’m also aware that I’m not the age of majority. I just can’t wait until 18. It’s a... View More

Until you are 18, then you will be considered a runaway if you try to leave home; your mother can call the police and have you placed in juvenile detention. You will have to have your friend seek guardianship and quickly if you want to move out.
For example, if my parents had to pick me up would they be asked for id and stuff like that?
answered on May 17, 2018
I believe that normally the speedy trial rules would prevent that.
answered on May 17, 2018
Give no statement to law enforcement, and meet with a local attorney immediately. Do not discuss this matter with anyone other than your attorney, and avoid posting any social media regarding the matter. Good luck.

Yes. Always problematic when “victim” is a minor. Hire a good criminal defense attorney to represent and defend the 22 yo. Self defense is always a defense but you really need a lawyer to articulate it properly.

The law was changed in 2016 to require that an attorney be present during the questioning of a minor that is being questioned for sex case or murder case up to the age of 15. For minors under the age of 15 the police must read them a simplified version of their Miranda rights which stresses their... View More
