What happens to a minor who is charged with theft while on probation?

Someone stole my brand new 500$ iPhone at school on Wednesday, and I found out who it was today. The person is currently on probation, but my family will be pressing charges. Is there a possibility this person could be locked up? If not, what would his punishment be?

Yes, the person will likely get time in juvenile detention.

Back to Juvi

Probation will be revoked and the person will probably be sent to a juvenile facility.

  • Would the police get involved for an expensive stolen object by a minor? My mom bought me glasses($400). They are "real" and the lenses are made to fit my eye vision. I'm in middle school and a high school boy who has a reputation for stealing things (ipods, iphones etc) stole my glasses while he was hanging out with me. Will the police be willing to get involved in this? I live in California. I really need them back, they're expensive and I can barely see anything during class… Or life
  • Will scratches and minor dents void my iPhone 4's warranty? Yesterday I called apple because my lock screen button had been pushed in, I was told that as long as it hadn't been dropped, which it hadn't, that it should be replaced at the spot but I'd have to bring it into an apple store. Now what's worrying me is that there's a few scratches around my lock button because I used to like wearing long acrylic nails and using them to take debris out of in between the button. Will this void my warranty in any way?
  • What will happen if I break my Probation for the same crime? I just got put on probation for the theft f an iPhone 5, and I just stole an iPhone 4S a month after that and the police came to my house and got the iPhone from me. So, I was wondering if I did break my probation, what will happen to me? I had a six month probation.
