We are also looking to other youth courts for the list of "consequences" that are doled out to offenders. Could you help us out with this also?

I have translated my intake and some of my information. I used a software called Translator 3. It was inexpensive. Once it translated the info, I had to go through it and make sure the information was correct. I know very little Spanish, but I was able to read most of the information. I don't anticipate having to use the forms anytime soon, but I thought I would have them if I needed them. Anne Watlington, Caswell Teen Court, Yanceyville, NC 27379
