This show is really good because it shows if you get into trouble you might just get sent to juvie and it shows that it is not fun at all getting sent there and what happens when you do go there!

What Parents Need to Know
About MTV Juvies
Parents need to know that this documentary-style reality show follows teens as they enter the juvenile justice system. Frank discussion of their crimes -- including auto theft, running away, drunk driving, assault with a knife, and more -- occurs. Some dramatizations include beer bottles, marijuana, and other elements of the teens' crimes. All situations are sad, and certain moments are particularly painful to watch -- like when a teen's mother rejects her daughter, forcing her into foster care.
