Extract

Two separate questions must be answered when a child is charged with delinquency. The first is whether he has committed the alleged act. If the child is found to be delinquent, the second question is what action the court should take to correct the child's delinquency. Both questions may be considered in a single hearing or they may be separated and determined in two hearings.
