How Juvenile Cases Differ From Adult Cases

Juvenile delinquency cases focus on supervision, services and rehabilitation. In most juvenile matters there is no adult-style bail; instead, the court decides whether the minor can go home with a parent or guardian, sometimes with conditions. Hearings happen quickly after a minor is detained.

In some serious cases, a minor's case may be moved to adult court. If that happens and bail is set, a licensed bail agent can post a bond. In California the premium is generally 10% of the bail amount, and payment plans may be available on approved credit.

Supporting Your Family Through the Process

Stay calm, keep every document, and attend every hearing. Talk with a defense attorney or the public defender about your child's rights and options. Being present and prepared is one of the most helpful things a parent can do.
