How do you send a child to juvenile detention?
You can't send a child to juvenile detention. That would be done by a juvenile court after the child was found responsible for some unlawful act. If you know a child who needs the attention of the juvenile authorities you should visit the juvenile court and ask to speak with an advocate. Most all juvenile court systems have a procedure for taking custody of a child who needs help and placing that child in foster care or a residential program. In some jurisdictions that would involve filing a petition for a Child In Need of Services at the juvenile Court. If you call your town offices there may an agency you could contact for more information.

Juvenile Officer?
A Juvenile Officer is one who supervises and provides punishments to minors who have been in trouble with the law. A child will get arrested or referred to a Juvenile Officer for appropriate punishment. When the child is brought into the office, they are assigned an officer to remain in charge for the entire time the child is on probation. The Juvenile Officer will read the child their rights and ask the child if they comprehend. The child will also be asked by the officer if they agree to what the police report states. The Juvenile Officer will then file a report and suggest punishment for the child. The case is turned over to the Prosecuting Attorney who will have the ultimate say in the punishment of the child. The Prosecuting Attorney generally follows the recommendation of the Juvenile Officer. As a Juvenile Officer a person may be required to check on the children that you supervise in their homes. The Juvenile Officer assists the child in the rehabilitation process by visiting with the child and their parents on a regular basis until their probationary time has been completed. Furthermore, as a Juvenile Officer, one will be responsible for all of the paperwork regarding the juvenile, including reporting to the court regarding the child. The many duties that a Juvenile Officer must conduct include frequent drug screening, meeting with parents and schools to ensure that the child is obeying his probationary rules, becoming a encouraging role model for the child for guidance and support, making sure that the child appears for all court dates, ensuring that all fines and court costs are paid, and filing probationary violations and charges if necessary. If the child attends court, it is the duty of the Juvenile Officer to be present with the child they are responsible for. Most importantly, when a child is doing a superior job and trying to turn around their life, the Juvenile Officer will commend them for their hard work. One will need to have an education in Criminal Justice, Social Work, Psychology, or Corrections. A Bachelor’s degree is the minimal requirement for this position. Having more than one degree in the mentioned areas will help as well. Juvenile Officers take on their jobs with the intentions of helping troubled children turn their lives around.
