A. A delinquent is any person under the age of 17 who commits any act that would constitute a misdemeanor or felony if committed by an adult. CHINS offenses include charges that can only be committed as a juvenile such as truancy, running way, disobeying the reasonable rules and expectations of a parent, and motor vehicle violations that are committed by someone under the age of 16.
