RE: Probate Court--Parent/Child Community Service Sentence Option
TO: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chaiperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WIIEREAS, the juvenile code of the State of Michigan currently provides that juveniles
may be required to pay restitution via money and/or community service, and
WHEREAS, if the sentenced juvenile defaults on cash restitution, the parents may be
ordered to pay up to a maximum of $5000, and
WHEREAS, the State of Michigan is presently reviewing and restructuring the entire
juvenile code, and
WHEREAS, parental involvement for children involved in the juvenile justice system
should be more than just picking up an unpaid debt, and
WHEREAS, the Probate Court Judges should be given the discretion to direct joint
parent/child community service.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby urge the State Legislature to include the provision for parent/child
community service sentencing in the proposed juvenile code revisions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all Oakland
County Legislators, the Chief Judge of Oakland County Probate Court, and the County's
Legislative Lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
