What punishment would a 13-year-old receive for throwing snowballs at the windows of homes.?
It would be considered destruction of private property and you may be hit with trespassing on provate property as well. You can very well get probation with community service or a period of time in a juvenile detention center. * Juvenile's committing such an act are not always subject to arrest and prosecution. When local police are involved they usually refer such incidents to the city or county prosecutor's office to be evalutated. Any subsequent penalties would be based upon contributing factors, such as, the act resulted in damage to property or personal injury, the juvenile has had previous problems with authorities and the act was committed with malicious intent. If it was a juvenile simply using bad judgment and no one was injured, the juvenile would likely get off with a warning if authorities became notified. If there was property damage or personal injury the parents of the juvenile would be responsible for restitution and the juvenile would likely be required to appear in court to explain his or her actions to the judge.
