[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this her first run in with the law?   It seems a lot of posters are assuming it is, but I haven't seen OP actually state that.[/quote]

OP - it is her first offense[/quote]

That’s helpful. Talk to the PD. He will k ow the prosecutor’s charging and plea policies and can tell you what offer is usually extended in this kind of case. If it’s a deferred sentence or any arrangement that ends with dismissal of the case, ask the PD to make it happen as quickly as possible. If the normal plea requires that your daughter enter a plea or (as a juvenile) admit responsibility, talk with the PD about requesting a deviation/better offer.

Is your DD being charged as a juvenile or an adult?

Regardless of the answer to the above, your DD needs to know that a criminal history will reflect this arrest. She will likely have to disclose this on college applications and maybe future job apps. It can affect her ability to obtain a professional license because theft is usually considered a crime of moral turpitude that reflects on her trustworthiness.

Lastly, is your DD sitting in juvenile detention now or has she been released? I would not let my kid sit there a moment longer than I had to. I don’t know about the facility she’s in (if any) but many are not especially safe. [/quote]
