well...if where you live is anywhere like where I live and your kids continue to run amuk and the police are ever called on them, you as the parents, can have charges pressed against you for curfew violation as well as truancy from school etc etc

the school can also call social services and if there are problems at school a guardian can be placed, which is what we have done at my school for kids who have had truancy problems or academic problems

so as much as you want to keep the courts out of it, they may come into it anyway
