Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

What happens if a minor is written a youth court referral form for a MIP, but they wrote the wrong name and birthdate but my legal guardian signed it? Is this a ticket?

Technically it is an ordinance violation that will be resolved through a diversion. You might want to have the name corrected, so that the CCounty Court does not pursue further prosecution.. But, as it is now, if the minor gets charged again, for a separate act, it might not appear the new Court that the minor already used their youth Court option.

Good luck
