MINS

Read a random definition: T-BOND

A quick definition of MINS:

Children are young people who have not yet reached the age of majority. They can be boys or girls, sons or daughters, babies or fetuses. There are different types of children, such as legitimate or illegitimate, biological or adopted, and special-needs or stepchildren. Some children may be in need of supervision or protection, such as those who have been abused, neglected, or delinquent. Others may have disabilities that require special education or related services. Children can also be unborn, posthumous, or quasi-posthumous, depending on the circumstances of their birth.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: MINS stands for Minor 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 child who repeatedly runs away from home without permission from their parents or guardians.
  • A child who violates curfew laws by staying out past the designated time.
  • A child who habitually skips school without a valid reason.

These examples illustrate how a child can be considered a MINS if they commit an offense that is specific to children and requires supervision.
