Consequences of Truancy

Truancy bring a lot of problem not only in a individual way, also for parents and the complete society. 


This problem brings legal difficulties, especially for parents or anyone who take cares for the child or adolescent. According to what is described on the website criminaldefenselawyer.com in a post written by (Theoharis, 2016), the legal problems of paternity for truancy can end in fines of money that increases each year, they can also be forced to take courses on how to be good parents, and in the worst case they can be taken to court under the crime of negligence.

The amount that parents have to pay can be more than $2,000.
 the newspaper  (The Guardian, 2014), shows how a mother died  serving time in jail for her children's truancy fines, demonstrating that truancy can bring also dead not only for kids and teeanagers. Even the school can be punished by the goverment forcing them to look for solutions to the problem internally, but the first affected are parents.

In the case of adolescents and children truancy can completely destroy the relationships between the authorities of their school and they can also accumulate problems that may occur in the future, such as lack of knowledge and skills to get a job, alcohol addiction and drugs becuase truants are in the street without any supervision or protection, and decrease their economical status.


The future of society is in dangerous if truancy increase each year, truant will be adults without a good base of education and in a most of the cases criminal behavior. 

Truancy is just the beginning of a cascade of problems.
