Brian is a 13-year-old male who has come to the attention of a court for an offense of vandalism.

The school principal estimated the total damage and cleanup costs to be approximately $1,300. Brian resides with both natural parents and two younger siblings. The family income is $65,000 annually. Brian admits to the offense but refuses to identify his co- offender. The family has agreed to pay complete restitution. Brian has no prior juvenile record, although he has been disciplined several times in school in the past year for minor violations of school rules. His grades, which were formerly A's and B's, have fallen off to C's and D's.
