When a minor is arrested for a crime, they will either be released to a parent or would be taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC), depending on the allegations. The staff may ask the minor for information regarding their health, parents, age, and schooling. Afterwards, the State would speak with the child’s parents and inform them of the charges made against them. In some cases, the JAC may release the child to the custody of the parents. A Judge may review the reasoning behind the minor’s incarceration. At this point in the proceedings, an Attorney would represent the child.
