Do parents have to pay a daily fee for their child's stay at a juvenile detention ?

What happens if the parent is unable to pay the fees due to low income?

Mine was there, I didn't pay. Have you ever paid for anyone to be in jail? I don't mean through taxes. I know that court costs can be paid by a person in jail, for having to take them to court. No clue about kids though. Sorry.
Check the laws of your state, you have a computer, just enter juveline detention fees ________, the blank being the state you live in.
Good luck with your kid. Mine still hasn't straightened up and she is no longer a juvie. She isn't allowed here, either, so I have been through this plenty.

Answer:
Yes, they do, and they find a way to afford it if they 'can't', taxpayers are not responsible for parents who don't parent their kids.

Well, you tell them that you don't have the money and you'll work something out.
