What can happen at the “disposition” hearing?
The court could declare you a ward of the court. You could be placed on probation, be ordered to attend counseling, classes, perform community service or custody time in juvenile hall or other facilities as well as placement outside the home, which could include a group home or a private or county/state facility. The worst that could happen is you could be ordered confined to the ___________________. This particular result would depend on the juvenile court history, background and family situation of the minor and seriousness of the case. The length of time for probation is usually up until your 18th birthday, but it can actually be longer in some instances.
