What is an adjudicated delinquent?
It means that a judge has formally found, or declared, a juvenile to be legally a "delinquent."
How mad will a 13 year old girl's parents be if they found out that she likes a juvenile delinquent?
Well for a reason your parents will be mad at you cos you're still young and you're just 13 years old. You must focus first on your study and liking someone is not bad as long as you know your priorities and liking a juvenile delinquent might cause your parents to be mad at you.Tell them who he really was and try to think for all the consequences.
What is a habitual delinquent?
The word "delinquent" is used in juvenile court, a court that deals with people under the age of 18 (in the USA). When an adult breaks the law we say that person committed a crime. When a juvenile, or a person under the age of 18, breaks the law, we say they committed an act of delinquency or a delinquent act. Habitual delinquency refers to a juvenile who has a habit, or a repeated pattern, of breaking the law. Some states may have specific laws that says if a person is found to in violation of the law more than "x" amount of times then they are classified as being habitual delinquents.
If you were a juvenile delinquent would you be able to purchase a firearm legally?
That depends. In the US, persons that have been convicted of a felony (serious crime such as murder, robbery, rape, grand larceny) loss their right to possess a firearm. In the case of a juvenile, tried as an adult, the same law applies. If a juvenile is tried as a juvenile, and is found "not innocent" of a crime that would be a felony for an adult, then they are also prohibited from possessing a firearm. Example- 15 year old commits an armed robbery, is arrested, tried as a juvenile, is found "not innocent" of armed robbery= now prohibited from possessing any firearm. The same 15 year old is arrested for shoplifting a $15 CD, and is found "not innocent" of petty theft MAY possess a firearm once they become an adult,
Formal processing of a juvenile offense through the juvenile court?
Formal HearingIf, upon assessment of a juvenile's case, a formal hearing is deemed necessary, an initial decision must be made as to how the case will be heard. In many states, specified cases may be heard in either juvenile or criminal court. In such situations the prosecutor is generally given the liberty to decide where the case will be tried. Most cases involving juveniles fall under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. However, in some states, laws have been instituted that require particularly egregious offenses to be tried in criminal court. Juvenile Court HearingsJuvenile courts receive two petitions from prosecutors: "delinquency petitions" and "waiver petitions." A delinquency petition asks a judge to declare a youth "delinquent," and a waiver petition asks the juvenile court to forfeit its authority over a case (that by precedent or law would fall under its jurisdiction) and transfer it to criminal court. A delinquency petition informs the judge of the allegations against a youth and asks the judge to "adjudicate," (hear and judge) the case in a formal hearing. During an adjudicatory hearing the testimony of witnesses and the facts of the case are heard. If the juvenile is found "delinquent" by the judge (or in some states, by a jury), a "disposition hearing" is scheduled. In the interim, the probation office is tasked with the responsibility of evaluating the youth and recommending a course of action for the court to take. Probation officials will take into account the results of any studies that have been made of the youth. Often these include "psychological evaluations" and "diagnostic tests." The "disposition plan" advises the court on which of the available options would best benefit the youth and the community.

When applying for an apartment is it legal for the apartment manager to pull up your juvenile record although you are an adult?
Your juvenile record should have become invisible once you became an adult. You will have to follow up to make sure this happens. I would assume that the source the apartment manager used found it without his particularly searching.
