Children who are 10 to 18 years old are legally considered juveniles. To that end, the juvenile court system tries them instead of the adult court system. And as such, juveniles are subject to much lighter sentences that rarely include jail time. If your child is a juvenile, the case occurs as an adjudication hearing instead of as a public trial. No jury involvement occurs. A judge will hear the evidence presented and rule whether your child committed a delinquent act.
