Thank god I don’t have to be in court anymore
I hear that. One of things from my past I also don’t miss.
Why were you in court if I may ask?
Court sucks.
I was in and out constantly between ages of 12-16
12yos can go to court in your country? Here the age is 15
I think age here is 10 or 11 for juvenile crimes
Here people under 15yo can only be taken into custody and placed in a foster home or such
In England at least, you get a referral order, then a supervision order, suspended sentences then custody
By time I had been through these stages, I was 17, and was in youth custody for a month before they put me on a community rehabilitation order that got me off drugs and compliant with the law until this day
I just got fined in court thankfully
Sounds like Finland is more lenient on young offenders than here.
To be fair though, I kept on doing a lot of things wrong and getting caught, so I deserved what I got
Just try not to do anything else illegal…
Hopefully this will be a turning point in your life and you can move on
yeah Finland is good
My crime wasn’t that serious (death threat) so yeah it may be the reason why
And yet you did it again.
The only time I had to go in front of a judge was when I was involuntarily committed in the hospital.
I had a court appointed lawyer as well.
Both my court appearances were traffic related. Of course.
I’m a recovered alcoholic. I behaved badly in public when intoxicated back in my younger years.
Here the decisions are up to doctors, not court unless its criminal
