Presently, a juvenile conviction is a serious matter and may result in serious future consequences for both you and your family. A conviction may result in the denial or revocation of a driver’s license, denial of employment, schools refusing to give financial aide, and eviction from public housing. This can occur even if the offense is a minor one such as possession of marijuana. Juvenile courts have jurisdiction to hear cases of minors between the ages of 10 and 17 years old.
Additionally, a child will be either be placed on probation, imprisoned in a probation camp, sent to a juvenile prison and, in more serious crimes, the juvenile could be tried as an adult and sent to prison.
