Abstract:

The Jones case involved a fifteen-year-old who was adjudicated undisciplined for being unlawfully absent from school forty-three times. The North Carolina Court of Appeals held that an undisciplined juvenile’s noncriminal activity that constitutes a willful violation of the terms of a court order cannot be grounds for adjudication that the child is delinquent.
