17 year old bail

Unread post by Poppystar » Thu May 30, 2024 5:13 pm

17 year old was arrested and bailed. I attended as the "appropriate adult".
If they won't stick to the bail conditions, am I going to be in trouble ?

Dear Poppystar

Thank you for posting on the parents’ discussion forum. Your query does not fall within the remit of our service as you have not mentioned any children’s services involvement.

I see from your post that you acted as an appropriate adult for a 17-year-old, when he was questioned by the police. That person is now on bail and you are concerned about how it would affect you if the bail conditions are not followed. The bail conditions are, I think, for the person to follow and not you. I suggest you speak with the police about your concerns.

I found this website National Appropriate Adult Network online and they may be able to assist you understanding your role.

Best wishes

Suzie
