Re: tresspass order on minors
I'm a little confused by the question. If you're trying to tell kids not to trespass, that's OK, so long as no "booby traps" are set for those that do. Also, a court certainly can issue "stay away orders" from people or places. A common example would be a stay away order for a kid who was caught shoplifting at a store. Here, the kid could be charged with criminal trespass upon the next visit to the store, even though the store is open to the public, because he was specifically prohibited from going there.
