what rights do juvenile felons lose when they reach 18?

I think that if they were tried and convicted as juveniles they usually regain their rights at 18 or 21.

Being convicted of a Felony looses your right to vote, leave the Country, and buy certain property in certain States.  As far as the Constitution it is interpreted by each Administration that is in power.

actaully deoending on the crime you can be charged as an adult at a very young age. but i feel that most 16 year olds aren't mature enough to make adult decisions. i actually think the age should be raised.

Not nearly enough will happen to him, sadly. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but 4th degree will land him in a juvenile detention facility, hopefully till he's 18, then after that? He'll probably walk, with a clean record. It's up to you to follow the case, and speak at his probation hearing. Good luck.

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

It probably varies from state to state, but the two exceptions I know of are: (1) if you did jail time for something that was only a misdemeanor; not a felony and (2) if the crime was committed as a juvenile. I don't know if these hold in all states, however.

If you're above 14 but under 18, you're considered a Young Person by the Law. If you're 18 and above, you will be treated as an adult.\n\nYou are likely to be sent to Young Offenders Instituition.\n\nSection 90/ 91\nThis sentence is given for the most serious offences, such as murder or rape, for which an adult would receive a minimum 14 years in custody. The case is heard in a Crown Court and the entire sentence is spent in custody. The release date for Section 90 offences is determined by the Home Secretary, the release date for Section 91 is set automatically.

I'm a probation officer, and here in Indiana, juveniles can stay on probation as long as the court wants to order them to be on probation.  It doesn't matter if they turn 18 or 21 while they are on probation.  What's important is that they were under 18 when they committed their offense.  As far as the court is concerned, the person is still legally a juvenile until he or she completes all his terms of probation or is unsuccessfully terminated from probation.\n\nI can refuse to allow a juvenile probationer to move out of his/her parent's home even if the probationer has turned 18. I can also insist on the probationer following the established curfew even though he/she is over 18.\n\nYou really need to discuss these issues with your probation officer.  The standards may be different for your state, or your officer might be more lenient or more strict.

Yes there are, of course there are.  They are federal juvenile detention centers that are basically jails/prisons that house those adjudicated delinquent of a federal offense, but who were NOT treated as adult offenders. \n\nThere are some juvenile offenders that due to the severity of their crime, are transferred to adult federal district court to be tried and convicted as adults.  However, even if that person is convicted as an adult, s/he must be housed with juveniles until s/he turns 18. \n\nMany times, the juvenile -- treated as an adult -- will be in protective custody to avoid his/her escape, as most juvenile detention centers DO NOT have the same level of security an adult facility would have.

You get the right to go to jail as an adult.

If it is a juvenile conviction, there are quite a few options. They are laid out in the first site below. If it is an adult conviction, only certain felonies can be expunged and only after 3 years. The exact details are in the second site.

Children have no rights. A child, under a JD Petition doesn't go to what a court considers jail. They are also not housed with criminals or adults. i saw a case in Indiana regariding the same when a child broke probabation.\n\nSome children in some states are tried as adults, some at different ages. Some of them have been executed in Texas when they became 18 or older.\n\nUsually children must meet a test, ours is a three pronged one, at least in this state , before a judge, prior to being bound over as an adult. The Superior Court does not have to accept the judges decision, the decision is reversed and the child is transfered back to it's origibal jurisdiction..\n\nIf they are tried as an adult, they have all the remedys available to them that adults do, including a jury trial. i don't see how anyone can say they can participate in their defense adequately when they are still children, but they do it anyway. Adult courts are not geared for kids.\n\nI am not looking up case law as it is too difficult. You can look at any JD law in any state and most of the cites are going to be at the end of the section. Each state is different.

Emancipation of a minor is just that he or she is considered "legal" even though they are under the age of 18. Still, they cannot do things that normal adults can do, like buy cars, get loans, or get car insurance.

I agree with Jason. Once their sentence is over (counting probation), and maybe a fixed time after (1-2 years? just what some states do), ex-felons should be allowed to get their right to vote back.\n\nThe idea is to rehabilitate criminals by giving them a reason to re-integrate into society. Now, repeat offenders, I have less sympathy for. But someone should not lose their rights for life because of a single bad act.

Wow! There are some people on here who seem pretty sure of themselves.\n\nBefore you decide which of these answers you think is right, check with your state law. Most states only require parental notification once a minor is arrested and/or booked at juvenile hall. If you tell us what state you are in, it can help.\n\nMinors do not have a right to speak with their parents if they are being detained or questioned by the police. Here is part of an article about Miranda rights witten by the Alameda County DA's office:\n\nMINORS: Minors have the same Miranda rights as adults and, therefore, need not be\ngiven any additional information. In the past, there was some confusion over whether\nofficers must notify a minor that he has a right to speak with a parent before questioning\nor that he may have a parent present during questioning. The answer to both is no.\n\nIf your son asked to see you, it doesn't matter. Here is more from the article, including cited case law:\n\nSUSPECT REQUESTS TO TALK WITH SOMEONE: In the past, it was the rule in California that a minor’s request to speak with his mother or father was an invocation of the right to remain silent even if it was apparent he was not invoking.Citing this rule, defense\nattorneys would argue that an adult suspect invoked by requesting to speak with, for\nexample, his probation officer, employer, friend, parent, or psychologist. But as the result\nof Davis and another important Supreme Court case, Fare v. Michael C., these\narguments are now summarily rejected.\n\nAllthough it would have been polite to inform you, they most likely weren't required to. Your question doesn't state where you were when the police came over.
