You defend by retaining a criminal law attorney. Use the Find a Lawyer tab. Bullying should be something discussed with the school principal.

When a Juvenile Court judge sentences a juvenile to probation, it is for a finite period of time e.g. 1 year, 3 years etc.Being emancipated into adulthood does not automatically terminate probation.

The staff did not inform the principal. He had heard nothing about it until I contacted him.

I would contact the members of your school board or any other elected officials in your town or city.
The courts no longer have record of the case and I'm being given the run around.

The school can impose conditions on allowing re-enrollment. You can choose not to comply, but then find another school. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney familiar with civil rights and school cases.

You can tell him to leave as soon as he turns 18. If he is violent or destroying property before then, you can file a petition with juvenile court and charge him with assault, vandalism, or theft.

The detention facility can hold a juvenile for 24 hours without a court order. With a court order, they can hold the juvenile until they are 21 or they become in compliance with the order. It sounds as though their are conditions already attached to his release, so I assume a court order is in... View More

Ohio does not permit it. They are her parents, and they make the decisions if CPS won't get involved. See this link for more information:

That depends on what your previous record is like, how you are doing in school, what your home life is like, etc. You should have an attorney represent you. If you can't afford one, ask for one to be appointed for you.
He is getting out of hand. Skipping school , coming home at whatever time he chooses and kicking down my bedroom door. What rights do I have as a step dad that's been here 5 years and his mom needs help. Any suggestions? Please help before things get worse.
answered on Feb 8, 2018
You might have to call the police, and he might have to spend some time in juvenile detention. No easy answer. What about his father? Is he involved? Talk to a school counselor for some suggestions. Best wishes.
Should I try to emanipate the child is not in school and works full time wont be 19 until 2019 can I get this emancipated and be over with it or will I still have to pay child support even through the child isnt in school and works full time she dropped out of school in 2016
answered on Feb 8, 2018
You do not need to wait until the child is 19. There are many factors the court will consider when emancipating a child, including whether the child is pursuing an education and their ability to be self-supportive. I would need more details from you than are here. You should consult with an... View More

He can file a Request for Order (FL-300) in the court showing a change in circumstances and requesting a modification of custody.
answered on Feb 7, 2018
It depends on what the citation is for, what the history of the juvenile is, etc. The best chance of it "blowing over" is to hire an attorney to represent the youth.
answered on Feb 7, 2018
Who is "they"? If you received a citation from anyone that directs you to contact the court or show up for court, then you need to pay attention to that.
answered on Feb 7, 2018
You can file your own unruly petition at juvenile court. Officers are often reluctant to get involved. If you do, however, you should know what you are getting yourself into. The juvenile court and DCS will be sticking their nose way into your life. They may also be able to help your child get... View More

Depends what you mean by 'grabbed'. If you mean grabbed in its normal definition, then a teacher would normally and very rightfully do that usually due to one of two things 1) because the child is misbehaving and / or 2) to prevent the child from getting hurt. In either of those cases... View More
