Yes. Vandalism is a criminal offense.
It is a property crime.
It can be a felony offense. It depends on premeditation and dollar damages.
Provide substantiated proof that the accused did not commit the offense.
A status offense is an offense that can only be committed by a child. If an adult did the same thing it would not be considered illegal.
No! A status offense is ONLY something that would not be a crime if the juvenile were an adult: running away, breaking curfew, skipping school. There may be others, but those are examples.Anything that is a crime if you are an adult is not a status offense for a juvenile.

This actually sounds like some type of home-improvement project, not vandalism. This all depends on what intent the drywalling is. The term vandalism is the destruction or damage to property. If you are in a rental property and you are doing this without the landlord's consent, then it could be taken as vandalism, but most likely is just unauthorized home-improvement, which is a civil offense.
throwing any type of missile of any size at a vehicle is an offense against someone else's property. If the vehicle is moving the charges can amount to much more than vandalism.
It is "Vandalism," in some jurisdictions also classified as "Destruction of Property." Whether you are a juvenile or not, it is a criminal offense.
Because of the value of the property involved it probably crosses the line into a more serious chargeable offense.
Depends. Usually, you have to clean it and get charged a fine and a misdemeanor.Added: Define "vandalism." It can mean many things to many different people - from spray-painting graffiti on a wall up to burning something down or blowing it up. It depends on what the vandalism amounts to - what it is that was vandalized - how costly it is - and how much damage was done to it. So-called 'vandalism' CAN amount to the offense of "Destruction of Property" and if done with criminal intent could possibly amount all the way up to to a felony offense.
