269: Sanction for failure to comply with young person obligation

You could also call this:

“What happens when young people don't follow the rules they're supposed to”

If you don’t follow a rule that young people have to follow, you might get in trouble. The trouble you get into depends on how many times you’ve broken the rule. It’s different if it’s your first or second time breaking the rule, compared to if it’s your third time. This is what the law says about what happens when young people don’t do what they’re supposed to do.
