10- 144 C.M.R. ch. 311, § V-IV
A minor (under age 18) who has no capacity in a court of law, when entering the WIN adjudication system, must be represented by a parent or guardian. Due process dictates that the representative be sent copies of all program related communications. Therefore, in a case involving a mandatory registrant who is under 18 years of age: (a) the record should indicate who is the proper person to represent the registrant and (b) such representative should be sent copies of any and all communications concerning the registrant including such items as appointment notices, status change notices, job referrals, component assignment notices, notices of failure to keep appointments, notices of intent to deregister, hearing and appeal notices and any other official correspondence.
In the case of a committed child living with either parent, both parent and agency will be sent copies of all communications concerning the registrant (minor child).
