W. Va. R. Juve. Proc. 11

As amended through January 31, 2024
Rule 11 - Release Under Bond Conditions for Delinquency and Status Offenses

Should the court determine that unconditional release is inappropriate, but believes that an alternative to detention will provide protection to the community and safety for the juvenile, the juvenile may be admitted to bail, with or without surety, under conditions which may include any reasonable term, including but not limited to the following terms.

The juvenile shall:

(1) not violate any criminal laws of this state or any other jurisdiction;
(2) not enter or remain at any establishment that sells alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises;
(3) not use alcoholic beverages nor any controlled substance, inhalant or intoxicant of any kind unless specifically prescribed by a licensed physician;
(4) submit to random substance screen testing at the direction of a probation officer;
(5) report to the probation office as directed by the probation officer and be available for home visits by the probation officer;
(6) not leave the state without the permission of the probation office;
(7) attend school every day unless absent under a doctor's written excuse, not be suspended, complete all assignments and make reasonable efforts to make passing grades; or if approved by the probation officer seek or maintain approved employment;
(8) remain under the supervision of the juvenile's parents or legal guardians and submit to such supervision in the matters of the juvenile's comings and goings;
(9) not have access to or contact with a firearm or other dangerous and deadly weapons of any type;
(10) not be ungovernable or habitually disobedient and beyond the control of parents or guardians;
(11) abide by the decisions of the probation officer of the court who shall have the authority to designate those individuals with whom this juvenile may not communicate or associate;
(12) adhere to any curfew set by the probation officer;
(13) have no contact with victim or any witnesses absent permission of the court or arranged through the juvenile's counsel with counsel for the state;
(14) appear timely at all hearings when notified to appear; and
(15) acknowledge that a substantial violation of any one or a combination of any of the limitations and restrictions is sufficient grounds to detain the juvenile pending further proceedings.
