Most parents want the best for their children. As they grow and develop, some will be relatively well-behaved, others may a have moments of rebellion, where others walk a narrow path of questionable decision making. In any case, if your teenager falls in with the wrong crowd, made poor decisions, or was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and find that they were arrested, parents often have many emotions and questions they experience. Today, we at Ajua Bail Bonds would like to elaborate on teenagers that get arrested.
What Teenagers Should Do when Arrested
Drunkenness, DUIs, theft, assault, drug abuse, disorderly conduct, and curfew violations are just a few of the most common crimes teens are arrested for. Though we hope our children make good decisions and try to educate them on consequences, few understand the severity of what happens when they get arrested. Should they get arrested, be sure they know and understand the following listed below.
1) When dealing with law enforcement officers, remain polite and calm. The situation can escalate when officers have to deal with behavior or attitude and will be annoyed very quickly.
2) While remaining calm and polite, do not talk to officers until the lawyer or you have given them council.
Can You Be Denied a Phone Call in Jail?
Too often teens will admit to something out of fear and not out of guilt. Being arrested is a traumatic experience, because of the stress most youth only think about the moment and not the long-term effects this situation may have over their lives. Remind them to request a phone call once in jail. Generally you can be denied a phone call depending on the severity and location of the crime as well as how the teen acts when arrested but it is unlikely a teenager would be denied. Encourage them to call you no matter the embarrassment, share, or fear of your punishment they may feel. Keep details to a minimum as all calls are recorded and you do not want your child to incriminate themselves.
