You could be sent to juvenile detention. If there are problems, talk to your parents or other trusted adults about it.

A father's rights are not there from the get-go. A child custody proceeding sounds necessary.
The girl has done research and there's such thing as the "Romeo and Juliet law." Would this protect the girl in this situation?
answered on Feb 3, 2020
If the person is not more than 4 years older than the victim, the two are dating, and the defendant hasn't committed a sex offense against any other person, “Romeo and Juliet” exception can apply

answered on Feb 3, 2020
Once you are 18, you can make your own decisions. But if you move out, you and the baby could lose your health insurance. After it is born, the father would have to establish paternity and file with the court for parental rights. The court would consider all the facts in determining what is in... View More
If a minor were to report a crime that happened a party a few weeks prior where alcohol was served, can the police arrest and/or charge that person and any other persons involved with underage drinking?
answered on Feb 2, 2020
Likely not, as the officer was not a witness to the underlying violation; however, if someone were to report it and was an eyewitness, then there may be sufficient information to at least bring charges. Proving it, though, is an entirely different matter.
Several weeks ago my daughter (17) was shoulder-checked hard and intentionally by a coworker (30s) who was upset with her. She told her managers but nothing was done. She didnt report it to anyone else as she feared getting fired (the coworker is friends with the boss). She has recently quit that... View More

You have not stated what is going on with you. However it is certain you need to hire a competent attorney to represent you immediately. You are fortunate for the Juvenile Court to maintain jurisdiction of you, but you need a lawyer to keep it at a "delinquency" level, and non-criminal.
Will she also have to give up guardianship of her child after he or she is born
answered on Jan 29, 2020
No, the child will not be considered an adult. Her age alone will not require her to give up guardianship of the child.
answered on Jan 29, 2020
If your child is 18, then they wouldn't legally be considered a "runaway" as defined by Tennessee law dealing with delinquent or unruly children.
Of course you CAN call the police and file a missing persons report in order to try to find out if they are at least alive and safe.

You can either hire an attorney to represent your son, or you can wait for the Court to appoint an attorney to represent him. Please understand, however, that unless you were present at the incident, the police version of the story and what your son is telling you may be different. Good luck.
