Chop off his hands. ** just kidding** Is anyone pressing charges? How young is the kid? What is the dollar amount stolen? It depends on the facts.

As this is his/her first time they may be elligible for a direct admission to the diversion program, if they were able to complete the program then the juvenile would be eligible to have their record expunged.

I previously worked as a juvenile (and Felony) prosecutor here in Broward county and I would be glad to speak further with you about this case.
