Juvenile Justice
Sometimes, children push the boundaries of society too far and encounter the juvenile justice system. In Georgia, there is a special court that specifically handles cases involving children under the age of 17, also known as juveniles. These cases involve children who have allegedly committed delinquent acts or unruly acts.
