Being charged as an adult when crime was committed as juvi
My son committed a crime at 14 the cops waited till he was 17 then charged him as an adult sentenced him to prison followed by probation. He now has a violation at 22 years old still for the crime com!mited at 14.they say his points score him out to prison again. Is it legal for them to access them: points to him as if he committed the crime as an adult?had they charged him when the other boys were charged hed been a juvinille. I understand statue of limitations that's fine but as a adult your suppose to know better that's why the point system was devolped but technically hasn't never been in trouble as an adult but they treating him like a menace to society.

Adult juvinille/points system
I asked a question last night but did not word it correctly so here I am again,lol my son was 14 yrs old when he committed a crime at 17 he was tried and convicted my son was overlooked 3yrs earlier. When your a juvinille its all about rehabilitTion and levels when you're an adult its points because your suppose to know better. Him being punished for the crime of course is rewuired nor an issue for me but had he been punished at 14 he would have done a year boys home. He got 2yrs prison follelwed by 4 yrs probation,still we are OK with thst.my question is it legal for them to put adult points against him even though he didn't commit the crime as an adult? Those points follow you forever now it apoears,he did the crime as adult. Descion msking at 14 and descion making at18 are not the same. Those points make him look like he's been in a lot of trouble as an.adult when reality is he hasn't been in trouble in 8 years. This been bugging me for years no one can seem to give me answer please help. How can he be giving adult criminal points for a crime committed as juvinille. Again him being punished is not even slight concern myself and my son both know that, please help thanks for your time
