Lesson Overview

14.12 – Juvenile Charges vs. Adult Charges: When minors are charged with drug crimes, their cases often start in juvenile court. The goal there is to help, not just punish. But serious or repeated offenses can be moved to adult court. Once transferred, sentences become much harsher. Adult court means permanent records, possible jail time, and fewer second chances. Juvenile court focuses more on counseling, probation, or treatment programs. The decision depends on age, history, and how serious the crime is. Having weapons, large amounts, or trafficking can lead to being charged as an adult. Once that happens, it can affect your life forever. Understanding how close that line is helps show why one bad choice can change your entire future.
