What is meant by Commitment in Juvenile Court?
If an offense is so serious that the Juvenile Court is not equipped to deal with it locally, or when a juvenile repeatedly comes before the Court and the Court has exhausted all treatment options, the child may be committed to the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice. Once a child is committed, it is up to the Department of Juvenile Justice to determine the placement of that child. The options include secure detention, placement in a group home or treatment facility or returning the child to his home for local supervision.
