What court action can they take if im just a "no show"? I was only place there for haveing alcohol as a minor , i was 17. I am now 18 so my parent do not need to be involved.

Juvenile court may retain jurisdiction until age 21, even though it does not often do so. If attendance were a condiction of commitment in the community, DJS may take custody of you until age 21. If attendance were a condition of probation, the court might find you in violation and commit you to DJS until age 21. If the state had agreed not to prosecute you on condition that you attend, then the state may prosecute you.
