The court has authority to incarcerate the child, and hold the parents liable for damages and fines the child may incur from his or her behavior. The laws of Alabama can be very harsh and draconian. The consequences of a conviction can require the parents to submit to drug tests and random searches of the home.
The procedure of Alabama Juvenile courts requires immediate attention.
