Answer

The rules for juvenile court are different that the rules for criminal procedure. Your son will remain in detention (there is not a bond like in criminal cases), but will have a detention hearing every other week or so to determine if he should remain in custody. It can be a confusing process, so you may want to contact a private attorney for your own peace of mind.
