The Washington County Juvenile Department has created a brochure that talks about Measure 11 crimes and their mandatory punishments. This is an important resource for parents of older teenagers as it outlines the serious repercussions of acts that kids may believe are harmless, such as sexual activity with minors or sending explicit photos or videos of underage persons to others via cell phone or social media.
