Re: juvenile

The charges will not go away so to speak but the court will loose jurisdiction on her when she reaches 19 (so she cant be punished after 19).

However, if she is caught before she turns 19 she could be sentenced to a level 8 or 10 program which could keep her till she turns 21.

Also, the court will always retain control over her for any restitution money that hasn't been paid.

hope this helps,
