It depends on the age and the crime.  If a 17 year old commits Rape on a younger minor and almost kills her, mostlikely he'll get life.  Also depends on the locale of the crime.

The answer is yes.  The Juvenile Court can retain jurisdiction of a juvenile who committed a status offense prior to his/her 18th birthday until he/she turns 21. Ohio Rev. Code § 2151.011. Status offenses are acts for which only juveniles can be arrested. In other words, a status offense is an otherwise legal act that is considered illegal only because of the juvenile status of the person committing the act. The four major status offense categories are runaway, truancy, ungovernability (sometimes known as\nincorrigibility, or being beyond the control of one's parents), and liquor law violations (minor in possession of alcohol, underage drinking, etc.). So the charge of what you call "unruly" would certainly apply.\n\nIt is unlikely that your friend is being detained solely for poor grades in school.  The only thing that you can do is be a good friend and a good influence.  Try to encourage her to confront her issues and seek professional help.  It does sound like she has an uphill battle.  Maybe a traditional education isn't right for her.  But that is for a trained vocational counselor to give an opinion on.  Maybe the right thing to do is get a GED and go to vocational school and learn a trade.  Plumbers and electricians make very good money.  It is possible that training for employment with a concrete goal is the right answer for her.\n\nDo not try to solve all of her problems.  This is beyond the control of one person.  You are not responsible for her. This is for adults to figure out.  Take care of yourself first.  Simultaneously try to be a good friend.  If she sees you doingthe right things it will make her want to emulate you if she looks up to you and respects you.

That depends on what it is you want to do.  It is pretty well agreed that child molesting is not a good thing and that you would be harshly judged for doing so.  Etc.  Murder, theft, and so on. There  has to be certain agreed upon standards of conduct in order for any society to survive.

Very carefully.  I had a child that was bullied and picked on at school.  I discussed the situation with my child at length, and together we decided not to go to the authorities as it would make the situation worse.  However, when the bullying became physically damaging (he came home with visible injuries), I went to the school and had a conference with the administrators, and the teacher of the class in which the abuse took place.  Their reaction was that it was up to my son to handle it.  However, when I threatened to get a lawyer and file harrassment charges . . . they changed their attitude.  The situation was defused . . . and there were never any problems.  I suggest talking to your child if it is a minor abuse and teach them coping skills . . . and if it becomes major, go to the school or facility.

Not unless you want to eventually get wrapped up in a statutory rape lawsuit if ya'll are found out, plus the teacher will be fired and go to jail. Did we learn nothing from Mary Kay LeTourneau? If you didn't, see this story: However, I guess if you're over 18 the worst thing that could happen is the teacher could lose her job.

Probably not, unless she did it on purpose for attention or something.  It really depends on the age, I'm assuming very young.  In High School they may need some punishment but Pre-K to second grade or so accidents may just happen.

As a minor (age 17) he/she is not competent to be held accountable for civil conspiracy, however, as other posters have mentioned, his parents could be held accountable.  It also depends on the state - in some states, the age varies.

Criminal sexual conduct?\n\nWhat state are you in?  The laws may vary by state.\n\nThere are laws to protect children from sexual predators, but your state and the specifics of the case may have an effect on what you are asking.

Well, if he knows exactly who it's from....this hypothetical situation could, and most likely will, get ugly.  It's sexual harassment, if unwanted, which is heavily penalized by the U.S. law.

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

Depending on the nature of his handicap, he may or may not be held accountable for his actions.\n\nRape by force is against the law. So is consensual sex if the person in question is under the state's minimum consent age. If both parties are under minimum age, then they've both committed a crime.\n\nWhether or not this case ever goes to a juvenile court, that's up in the air and tons of things could influence it either way.

Showing your stuff to a minor or having some sexual contact/conduct with them.  It could lead to designation of a sexual predator if convicted depending on your state.  If you are classified as a sexual predator, you will have to register and the neighborhood will be notified when you move in.

Tell an administrator. And depending on the laws in your area, after that you have the right to file charges for threatening or harassing behavior. just have all your facts straight and documented

when they are no longer a minor, it is up to the child (former child, as it is)

17 is still considered a minor. She can "date" older men that is not illegal. Sexual contact would be illegal. However, you would be hard pressed to get a prosecutor to bring a case considering she is 17.

Wow. Ademolaefuwape, you sound like a person in trouble.  You Logon and immediate ask a question about sexual harassment.  I doubt that you want to learn to do it.  It is a federal offense.\nSexual harassment is defined as:\n“Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.”\n\nSee the site below for additional details
