A criminal record can permanently harm a young person's ability to attend high schools, colleges, and gain employment. Your child's employment or educational prospects can be seriously damaged by policies which limit or exclude people with an existing juvenile criminal record. In addition, your child could also face severe legal punishment since there has been a growing trend in the court system of trying youths as adults. This could intensify the already serious legal punishment that youthful offenders can receive.
