What is a criminal setting?

Question

my son was giving a year from his court last year to serve his community service in April (after 8 months probation) His probation officer said he was in violation, because he hadn't done it yet. so now he was given a date to remove the Set Aside and now it is a Criminal Setting? what does that mean?

Will he go to jail or get extended probation.

He has 2 babies and 1 on the way.

Answer 1

In other words...he's going before the Judge who will determine if he was in violation of probation and what the court will do for further punishment!

Answer 2

His parenthood status makes no difference to the Court.

If he was on probation and had to complete community service and did not do so (not very responsible for a guy worried about his kids, IMHO) then he will probably go to jail for violating his probation.
