My child just needs a couple of days in the detention home to teach him or her a lesson, what do I do?

Juveniles can only be placed in detention for very specific reasons as stated in the Code of Virginia. Anyone, adult or child, who is at risk of being incarcerated, has certain rights and is allowed legal representation to ensure the initial and continued incarceration is legal and an appropriate result of criminal behavior.
