Embezzlement By A Minor In Michigan

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

My 16 year old daughter was caught stealing from her job in Michigan. She stole jewelry and other items with a value of $300-$700 (my estimate). They have her on tape and are deciding weather to turn her in or not. I did make her return all the stuff.

My question, as a minor what kind of penalties should we expect if they turn this over to the police?

Penalties are going to vary, depending on what the actual value of the stolen items is.

Best case scenario, there will be a civil demand, plus restitution, plus a fine, plus possible diversion classes, plus probation.

Worst case is all of the above plus some jail time.

Get her a lawyer.
