Which paper work is used for PINS petitions?

• A. Complaint report worksheet
• B. Runaway report
• C. Juvenile offenders' file
• D. Court order

Answer: (A)

For initiating a PINS petition, the officer uses a form that collects all the facts and context needed for family court review. The Complaint Report Worksheet is designed to capture the juvenile’s situation, family and school circumstances, and the reasons why court intervention is being requested, providing the basis for filing the petition with Family Court. A Runaway report is specific to a youth who has left home, and a Juvenile offenders' file is a records folder rather than the initiating document. A Court order is something issued after the petition and proceedings, not the form used to start the process. So the Complaint Report Worksheet is the appropriate paperwork for PINS petitions.
