Question:

What is a juvenile justice referral?

Answer:

If your child is arrested at school or referred to the Department of Juvenile Services in Maryland, you will have an interview with a DJS intake officer. This interview is not a court proceeding. The DJS intake officer will review the incident and discuss what steps you, as the parent, have taken to address your child’s behavior.
