Defacing Property
Willfully damaging another's property is a type of juvenile crime that may have serious repercussions both for the juvenile offender and his or her parents. Parents may be held accountable for the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged property, and the minor may be required to spend time on graffiti clean-up or similar programs.
