Answer to Question 1

The flow of the juvenile court begins with intake, which is how a juvenile enters the court system. This can come from a delinquent act, the police, the school, or the family. Once intake has occurred, a decision is made on whether or not to petition. Petition is equal to the decision to charge in the adult system. The decision to not petition could lead to the juvenile's case to be dismissed or for the juvenile to proceed through the system on an informal basis. Next is the adjudicatory hearing. During this stage the judge, the prosecutor, and the defendant are in the courtroom to determine if there is evidence that the juvenile is guilty of a crime. The disposition plan is often developed by the juvenile probation officer and consists of what the sentencing should be for the juvenile. Finally, judicial disposition is the actual sentencing hearing for the juvenile.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
