Child Summoned to Juvenile Court for Shoplifting
My question involves criminal law for the state of: wiscconsin
Hi all.
My son is 13, my son and I where shpping at shopco, I told him to pick out a toy so he went to the toy department and got a toy. While checking out we where stopped by security the pulled us into their office and we sat down and said to my son we have you on camera is there anything you stole he said yes and pulled out a ring pout of his pocket. Value do. $21.00 on sale for. $11.00 then the staff came in with the tag he took off and stuck on the shelving. The. Staff did not ban him from the store. The security staff called the sheriff dept. they issued a violation citation for $313 ordence vilated vs 9.27. Adopting state statue 943.50 (1m)(b)
To avoid me paying the fine and possibly getting it dismissed do I call the DA or do I wait until court and ask the judge about if they will consider entering him into a diversion program to dismiss the charges upon compliance. And give him a stern talking to from the judge.
I will have to take him out of school to go to court.
seeming he can't get a job yet it's punishment on me to pay the fine. In addition once I pay its kinda in away over. But
If he has to do community service I think that would have a far bigger impact.

I am not sure that your son is old enough for community service. I did some quick googling but could not find a definitive answer. However, he does appear to be old enough to volunteer in many areas. Therefore you could set up your own version of community service for him by making him volunteer.
Re: Retail Theft Juvenile
I agree with signing him up for community service on my Owen. But I think the impact would be bigger if the judge would assign community service. Seeming we do volunteer at my local food pantry currently.
Re: Retail Theft Juvenile
This is refreshing that you understand your son did wrong and you are not making excuses. BRAVO! What I would tell you is ask that your son is granted counsel at the hearing. Tell the court that you understand your son did wrong, would like diversion BUT would also like him to work at the minimum wage towards fines at community service. You should not have to pay for your son's wrongdoing. He needs to work it off.
Re: Retail Theft Juvenile
Thank you for the pointers I will tell the court that. Another question today I got a bill from shopco for $180 for basically prossing fees says too pay in 14 days can I ask the court to include that in the community service?
Re: Retail Theft Juvenile
Nope. That is a civil demand.
