Whether the child is on probation or not has no effect on your liability for a child under the age of 18 commiting a civil or criminal wrong. You are liable until the child reaches the age of 17. Also, if you lend your motor vechile to someone you know is careless, reckless, then you may be liablle for negligent entrustment.
