Answer 2

if ur doing it to get out of letting ur parents know u can get contempt of court and jail time if ur parents just won't be there for you they will go to jail. they will know and or ask for ID

Answer 3

Generally, no.

In most states, a juvenile court complaint is actually filed against your parents or legal guardian.  They have to go to court to tell the judge why you should not be made a temporary ward of the court, subject to the court's jurisdiction, so that you can be tried on criminal charges.

How will they know?  They check ID and backgrounds.

Answer 4

They're more than likely going to check for ID, and if you aren't there with your legal guardian, they'll reschedule your court date.
