Nothing, unless...if a person is restrained, then that person may not call, go near, have others call, etc. The restrained person needs not go to a hearing, once notice of the hearing is given. However, if the person being restrained wishes to contest the order, then that person might want to go. Nothing happens to the restrained person, unless they violate the order. If they violate it, then the Court can find the restrained person in contempt of court, which can lead to a fine and/or time in custody. Also, it may be a new law violation for violating the RO, which can lead to getting into the Juvi Court system.
So, if this is a boyfriend/girlfriend breakup situation and you are the person that is being restrained, back off. No one is worth the trouble. If you are the person being harassed, get the order. Get camera, and don't invite the person to meet you, or call them yourself. While you cannot violate the RO that you got against the person, it just makes it harder to enforce. If you are the restrained party, if the person who got the order against you calls, hang up. If invited over, don't go. Why? Because as long as the RO exists, you are still restrained.

NO. They will have to abide by whatever the restraining order orders them not to do. Basically stay however far away from the person or persons the requested the restraining order in the first place. If you violate the restraining order you will go to jail and then you will get to see the jusge to see if you will be brought up on charges and serve real time behind bars. If this is happening to you as a minor you have some serious issues in your life and you need to sit down with yourself and figure out what you want out of life. Going to jail for assaulting another human being really isn't a great way to start out your life.

A juvenile really can't get a serious restraining order. You really just have to stay away from the person. A parent putting a restraining order on a kid would have to talk with the parents first. It's not like "Oh that devil over there called my son stupid and stuck his toungue out at him I'm taking him to court!". I mean if it's like "Hey! That kid broke my sons arm and punched him in the stomache then punched him in the jaw! I'm taking him to court!" That's some time in a Detinition Facility. So I mean, nothing really happens, people aren't gonna walk by you and run away dropping their items, your not a hardcore outlaw. Even when you get older if you get pulled over by a cop when he looks through your history he's not gonna be like "Oh you lied to me! You got a restraining order when you were 12 years old because you beat a kid up for ganging up on you!". So, overall, I'd say that if somebody put a restraining order on you, it's gonna have to be a major issue. The kid can't threaten you with one. That happened to me last year for being kinda mean to a kid who is kinda... nerdy, obnoxious... But that just happened because I made some jokes involving him me being the comedian of the school and stuff. So, not really.

Usually you can request a hearing to put up evidence why there should not be a restraining order. If you do not, then nothing will happen as long as you do not violate the order.
