Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

o clothes instead of black robes and sit at a table with the other participants rather than behind a bench. The primary focus of the court is on the child and not the
crime; the judge has wide discretion in disposing of each case.
Different terminology is used to reduce the stigma of criminal proceedings.
o Petitions are issued instead of warrants, the children are not defendants but rather respondents, and they are not found guilty but instead are considered as
an adjudicated delinquent..
No adversarial relationship exists. Instead of trying to determine guilt or innocence,
o the parties involved in the court work together in the best interests of the child, with an emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
Confidentiality is used to avoid saddling the child with a criminal past juvenile  court hearings and records are kept sealed and the proceedings are closed to the
public.

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.
