What is an undisciplined juvenile?
An undisciplined juvenile is a youth under age 18 (and at least 6) who is regularly disobedient to and beyond the disciplinary control of the juvenile’s parent, guardian, or custodian; who is regularly found in places where it is unlawful for a juvenile to be; or who has run away from home for a period of more than 24 hours. A juvenile who is unlawfully absent from school, while at least 6 but not yet 16, also is an undisciplined juvenile.
