Police reports involving juveniles are sent to the District Attorney’s Office. After reviewing the police report, the District Attorney’s Office decides if charges should be filed. The charges are based on the information received.

Kansas law requires that an attorney represents juveniles in court. The court will appoint an attorney automatically. An affidavit of indigency will need to be completed and turned in to the court so the judge can determine if you qualify for the court appointed attorney or will need to hire your own attorney. If a court appointed attorney is approved for your child, a reasonable fee may be assessed to reimburse the court. A family can choose to hire their own attorney. When a family hires an attorney, they are responsible to that attorney for any fees incurred during the representation of the juvenile

Be present and involved to the best of your ability. Discuss your child’s interests and how their day has been going. Thank your child when you see them do something you ask. Compliment your child when they make positive choices or perform well on a school assignment or other activity. Youth are more likely to continue positive behavior when they know their family is supportive of their positive choices. Hold your child accountable. Do not ignore when your child is breaking rules at school, breaking rules of their supervision, or disrespecting your own home rules or expectations for them. Consequences for breaking rules should not involve verbal or physical abuse but do involve removing privileges such as the cell phone, Wifi, or gaming system. Be consistent with your rules and consequences. Don’t allow your child to associate with peers or friends who do not respect your home rules or expectations for your child. Remind your child that parents/guardians make rules for their children out of love and care for their safety and future successes.

Juvenile offender charges and arrests remain on your child’s offender record until they request to have them expunged. Expungement is a legal process that will remove access to those charges by anyone other than the offender and a few, select others as provided by law. The process can be complicated, so it is recommended that you contact an attorney regarding the specifics of your child’s case. Additional information can be found on the District Attorney’s website (inset link).
