CHINS

Read a random definition: preferential union shop

A quick definition of CHINS:

CHINS stands for "child in need of supervision." This refers to a child who has done something wrong that only children can do, like disobeying their parents or breaking curfew. It's important to help these children and make sure they get the support they need to make better choices in the future.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: CHINS stands for child in need of supervision. It refers to a child who has committed an offense that only children can commit, such as being ungovernable and disobedient to parents, running away from home, violating a curfew, being habitually truant from school, violating age restrictions on the purchase or possession of liquor or tobacco, or the like.

Examples:

  • A 14-year-old who repeatedly runs away from home without permission from their parents.
  • A 16-year-old who violates curfew by staying out past the designated time.
  • A 17-year-old who purchases and consumes alcohol, which is illegal for minors.

These examples illustrate how a child can be considered a CHINS if they commit an offense that is specific to their age group.
