Can the Probation Department help with my child before he/she breaks a law?
Unfortunately, the department does not have resources to work with children and families before a child breaks a law. There are, however, various community based organizations such as New Morning Youth and Family Services, EDCA Lifeskills, Tahoe Youth and Family Services, etc, who offer programs to work with at-risk children and their families. Also, there are programs within the public schools to help you with your child.
