The people on here are not people I would trust for legal advice. Go somewhere else, to someone you can trust.

No, they will not go away. Taking care of them now, before you become a legal adult, will be much to your advantage. Punishments will be less and you can still use the old excuse that you were just a dumb kid. Wait until you are an adult and the punishments can be more sever.
One more thing. Right now, as a juvenile, your records will be sealed when you hit adulthood. However, if you do not take care of the warrants and you get arrested as an adult, you will then have an adult criminal record. That can really hurt you.

I am a Criminal Justice student and I know for a fact that warrants will always stay on your record and won't go away, even when you turn 18. The best thing is to just turn yourself in for what you have done. If they are misdemeanors, they may go away, but if they are felonies, then they won't go away.

No, they will not go anway.
Sometimes when an offender is 17, we'll wait until they turn 18 to arrest them on outstanding warrants. That way we don't have to go through the BS of juvenile screening etc and can take the offender staright to county.

regrettably that is a fantasy to your criminal checklist to be erased once you turn 18. legal in no way could be positioned under Y.O. or Youthfull criminal. that's what i had to fill out while i replaced into in trial. yet my sister is a lawyer i only asked her she pronounced. warrents in some states would be erased after 3-5years reckoning on the state. yet legal warrents stick to you for existence. Plus you have violations of parol important or perhaps if costs that have been given you probation. while they are asserting erase your information. In actuallity all they do is positioned a block on it for while jobs request your criminal checklist interior the hireing technique it blocks it. the type you get it so referred to as erased is throughout your trial or listening to for the crime you commited the decide will ask you do you desire to report under youthfull criminal. or you lawyer or in my case the first public defender can request it. decide pronounced confident. i paid the courtroom like one hundred and somthing us funds and that they regularly occurring the applying. and then my costs at the instant are hid from jobs. although law enforcement officers who pull me over can nevertheless see the finished rap sheet of costs. why i'm getting a value tag for stupid issues perpetually. 4 counts assult. Breach of Peace. Destruction of Public components, 2 counts resisting arrest and a couple of violation of probations. then i had the warrent out for lacking a courtroom date. yet i replaced into in a team homestead and that i ultimately became myself in waited perpetually and as quickly as I went for that the decide advised me charge droped reason it wasnt my fault and advised me to report youthfull criminal, and if i ever see you lower back anticipate a minimum of 5 years

They will not go away. Especially if they are felonies.
Turn yourself in on your own terms instead of being arrested at an awkward time when the police run across you again.

No, they won't go away.
In fact, the penalties may increase when you become an adult, and it may not be possible to have them sealed as part of your juvenile record.
Arrange to surrender yourself, and get them taken care of.

depends on the state. felony flight probably not. get an attorney and bury the issue if you can.

In Washington State, when you are under 18 and you will steal a car or do some other bad thing, then when you are turn 18 they will go away. Unless you rape someone, abuse someone sexually or arm someone.

They won't go away if they are felony, If its anything other then a felony then it will go away. But felonys don't go away.
