My 14 year old daughter received a citation for shoplifting. It is her first offense. Will the penalty be the same as it would be for an adult in adult court?

No, not necessarily. Juvenile court is supposed to be about rehabilitation, not punishment like adult court. Was she given a court date to appear? http://www.kenneylegaldefense.us
