I got charged with for stealing some stuff from walmart. I'm living in ontario canada and I'm under 18... so what can I do..?

Well it won't be on your record once you turn 18 so nothing much, if you get assigned a lawyer ask that he try to get you into community service or something.

What do you want to happen? It won't go away

Where do I go to get assigned a lawer?

Were you given a date to be in court?

You should have someone assigned to you when you go to explain the options.

This is what I got

Appearance notice issued by a peace officer
To a person not yet charged with an offence

YOUTH JUSTICE COURT
CANADA
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

To : name of person
Of: address
Occupation/profession: student

You are alleged to have committed (set out of substance of offence)
Theft under $5000, possession of property obtained by crime.
You are required to attend court on ____day, the ____ day of ___yr 2007 at ___ am in the yoth justice court at ________ and to attended thereafter as required by the court in order to be dealth with according to law.

2. ARe are also required to appear on ____day the ____dau of ___yr 2007 at ____am




So I have been given a date to appear in court and a date to get my fingerprinting done..

Okay well when you go to the court date they should assign someone to you, they most likely will see if the court will agree to a sentence without a trial.

Oh.. OK. Would it be better for me to get a lawyer or should I just go with the assigned person?

Also.. would there be any reason to inform my employer about this?
