What will happen if Someone Is 17 and miss juvenile court?
If you miss a court date, the judge will probably issue a bench warrant which allows any cop to arrest you. You then get taken to court where the judge will have to decide what to do with you. How he treats you depends on what your court date was for. It's possible he might rmand you overnight or a few days or just cut you loose w/instructions not to miss again.
What happens in Juvenile Court ? ?
When you go, the judge is going to look at what happened. You can decide if you want to plead guilty or not guilty, or you can choose to do it at a later date. Your lawyer will tell you exactly how to act and how to address the judge. Your lawyer will tell you what they want to do with you. He or she will then advise you on how you should plead. Since you're a kid and it's just a shoplifting charge, you should be able to get off with a fine, probation or some community service. If you work out a deal, the penalty will usually be very light. If you decide to go trial, however, they will recommend the maximum penalty, which could be some time in a juvenile detention center. Just don't screw up again. You'll get off easy. But if you do it again, the judge will be less than willing to give you a second chance.

What does it feel like to go to a juvenile detention center?
When I first went to JDC, I was scared because it was my first time in juvenile detention and I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. As soon as I got into intake area, they asked me to stand up against the wall and patted me down. Then they searched all my pockets and took everything out of my pocket. Then they asked me to stay in the holding cell and did some paperwork before my booking process could begin. Then they told me to come out of the holing cell and took me to the shower room and strip searched me to see if I have any contraband and make sure I don’t harm any other people. I had to take off all my clothes and they searched all my body parts. I was so embarrassed but I can understand it now because it is for everyone’s safety and if I imagine that other juvenile inmates don’t get searched and they can bring something that can hurt me, it is scary. When the search was over, I was asked to take a shower and given my detention underwear, jumpsuit, white T-shirt, socks and flip-flops. Then they took my mugshot and put an ID wristband on my wrist. As soon as I put on all these JDC outfits, the female officer looked at me for about 10 seconds without saying anything and I could understand what it meant even though she didn’t say anything. I could feel that she was kind of trying to say that I’m now a juvenile inmate in that detention jumpsuit and I’m in their custody. After that awkward few seconds, I was suddenly ordered to keep my body straight, my eyes forward, and my feet flat to the floor and put my hands behind back. I also was ordered to call the officers sir or ma’am. There were many disciplinary actions and rules/policies that I had to follow. I was overwhelmed on my first day in juvenile detention because I had never imagined myself being in juvenile detention and I couldn’t believe that I was actually wearing that JDC uniform as a juvenile inmate. On the second day, I was more surprised because I was fully shackled with belly chains, and leg irons when I was going to court. I wanted to hide when people could see me in the jumpsuit and shackles. But I got used to it as time went by and I know that it was for everyone’s safety. It was a very educational moment in my life. It definitely changed me.

Going to court Nov. 13th for Truancy, what will happen?
How truancy is handled will vary based on where you are. I can tell you how my jurisdiction handles it but your specific state/county may do it differently. In our area, a juvenile who is charged with an offense that is ONLY a crime because they are minors are called "status offenders." These are things like truancy and runaway charges. They are handled completely differently than actual juvenile delinquency charges, which are the sort of thing that can lead to juvenile detention or formal probation. For status offenders, specifically truancy, my area files a court case in front of a circuit court judge. They usually result in having a review hearing every 90 days in front of the judge to see about the status of the case. If the juvenile is comply with the terms of the court (specifically for truants, attending school) then the case will be dismissed after a bit of time watching it. If they are NOT complying then the state can take temporary custody of the juvenile and place them in a facility where they will be forced to go to school on site. This is, however, only the way we do it in my area and it could be different where you are. Also, in my area juveniles are appointed an attorney for the process since its in court. You might try checking around your area for attorneys who do juvenile defense work. Most of them would probably outline the general process for you over the phone if you called and they'd know your specific area's practices.
