If your teen is caught for a minor, first offense case of shoplifting, generally the juvenile court may choose to do nothing more than release them to a parent or guardian. This outcome, however, is not guaranteed. With shoplifting at an all time high, the court could choose to be more strict.
Restitution
Your child may be ordered to pay restitution to the property owner for the amount of goods that were stolen. If the court doesn't have a job and is old enough to work, the courts may order them to find employment until the restitution is paid.
Probation
If the crime is severe enough in the eyes of the law, a court can order probation that often last about 6 months. During that time your child will be required to attend court ordered classes, perform community service, pay a fine, etc. Depending on the circumstances it could last even longer.
