Leaving the country on Juvenile Probation
hello. I am 16 years old and was placed on 1 year probation 1 week ago for theft of 1300 dollars, i was very lucky they went easy on me. I have yet to receive a letter from the PO. I have always went to my home country Russia in the summer for 2 months to visit all of my family and work for my aunt. I already got the plane ticket and everything. I am afraid that my actions in the past have jeopardized everything. I was wondering if it is even possible for my PO to let me go, or if he doesnt then can i ask an attorney or the court for help? BTW if it does make a difference i have never done any

You can ask, but I wouldn't be hopeful. The probation department probably doesn't much care about what you've planned or the plane tickets. You may have to skip that this summer.
I can't give you firm advice without all of the facts, and there may be something that you haven't mentioned that might help. So you need to talk to an attorney in your area, for the best advice about your options. One place to find a lawyer is http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=947160
