Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a commonplace crime that causes thousands of people to be prosecuted every year.

The most classic scenario is an adult who is caught supplying alcohol or drugs to a teenager. Parents and strangers alike can be prosecuted for any behavior that tends to lead a minor toward criminality, school absenteeism, or becoming dependent in the juvenile court.

At the same time, this is a crime for which many innocent people are falsely accused; this can damage your family, your career, and your reputation.
