    In MA the civil demand runs from $50 to $500. Each case is different - there is no set fee, just the min and max. Your parents are labile for paying the fine. I suspect the letter will be addressed to them via certified mail.

    Thanks but you think you could give me a rough estimate of what you think the fine could be?

    No I can't. As I wrote, the state sets the minimum and the maximum - the retailer may charge any amount, as long as they stay between the minimum and maximum. You're just going to have to wait and see.
