[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 525951, member: 59"] Does she have a lawyer? If she does then the lawyer should advocate for her which takes you out of the mix. I second guess myself a lot these days so I don't even know if my response is right but since she is still a juvenile and it has been sent to juvenile court if she does not have an attorney they should ask for parental comments, at least the prosecutor should talk to you before you go into court. If it were me I would probably tell the court tht she has a job and that things seem to be going well now and you don't want her schooling to be disrupted and she has a job that she enjoys and is doing well at. At least the courts here take all that into account, our juvenile facilities are overcrowded and they don't want to add to that if the family seems to be able to handle it. I know this sounds as if I am advocating that you should not make her face the consequences but she is still a minor and this is the time when you want her to straighten out and not have something on her record that will follow her for a long time.
