[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 325068, member: 1514"] I have to admit I dont understand the states who hold parents liable for the restitution of juveniles unless the parent is negligent in parenting that child. Seems to send the wrong message to the child. Jr...you do something wrong and you dont have to pay, mommy and daddy have to get in trouble and pay for your misdeeds. Thats not the way it works in the real world. Now, granted Cory didnt get into big enough trouble that he had large fines or anything but Im sure he could have had fines...and he did shoplift some stuff, so I guess he could have had restitution but he never did. And down here it would have been him who would have had it. They had a program where the kids on probation with restitution had to work for the Department of Juvenile Justice folks to work off their restitution. Basically community service but they did it under the supervision of court officers. Oddly enough, our local haunted house is held by this department...lol. I can see why parents have to work with the probation and parole department though. I didnt like Cory's probation officer when he was a teen. He was an imbecile. Just there for the paycheck. I had a friend who was a probation officer who worked in the same office and I so wished she could have been his PO but I couldnt get him transferred. She was a tough gal. She had to be or the kids would have eaten her for lunch. When she said something, she meant it. Our system down here is different than VA's or maybe it is just this county...dont know. [/QUOTE]
