As an attorney in juvenile law, I understand the concerns parents may have about the possibility of their child being charged as an adult for a crime. While the juvenile justice system is designed to handle cases involving minors separately from adult criminal proceedings, there are certain circumstances under which a juvenile may be charged as an adult. This process is known as “juvenile waiver” or “transfer to adult court,” and it typically occurs for serious offenses or for older juveniles who have a history of delinquency.

In most states, the decision to charge a juvenile as an adult is made by a judge following a transfer hearing. During this hearing, the judge will consider various factors, including the nature and severity of the offense, the juvenile’s age and maturity level, their prior criminal history, and whether they would benefit from rehabilitation within the juvenile system. The prosecutor may also present evidence and arguments in support of the transfer request.
