In re Robert O.
Despite the caption, this case is, in substance, neither a juvenile dependency case nor a juvenile delinquency case. In substance, it is a civil liability laches case involving the parent of a juvenile delinquent. Specifically, Darryl O., the father of Robert O., appeals from a judgment for $3,974.64 obtained by the Orange County Probation Department to cover the costs of Roberts stay in juvenile facilities during two periods, (1) May 23, 2004 through October 31, 2004, and (2) September 15, 2005 through September 30, 2005. (Darryl got a good deal on the terms of payment: The court ordered him to make payments at the rate of only $100 a month.) The judgment of the juvenile court providing that Darryl O. is to pay $3,974.64 to the county is hereby modified to reduce the sum owed by him to $3,592.24.
