if you’re a mom in San Antonio, the thought of your child getting into trouble at school or with the law can feel absolutely terrifying — especially when you don’t know what your rights are or what actually happens next. In this episode of the Working Moms of San Antonio Podcast, we sit down with local juvenile defense attorney Katy Boortz to walk moms through what really happens when kids make mistakes, how the juvenile system works in Texas, and how parents can protect and advocate for their children without making things worse. Katy breaks down the difference between juvenile and adult court, how school investigations can escalate quickly, and what every parent should (and shouldn’t) do in those first emotional moments — all through a compassionate, mom-to-mom lens.
