NYS Criminal Court

[saneus]

My son was recently caught with alcohol in NYC, and was charged with underage consumption and open container in public. When he went to court, the judge gave him an adjournment slip (because he is 17) and asked that he return with a parent or guardian. However, the date for which the adjournment has been rescheduled is not one I can keep. Also, by the time the adjourned trial occurs, my son will be 18 years old. The two boys he was with at the time (ages 18 and 19) got the open container charge overturned and received negligible fines for the underage consumption charge. My question is, if my son will be 18 by the date of the adjourned trial, does the adjournment slip still legally bind me or another parent/guardian to attend court with him? Or can he, like his two older friends, come on his own?
