Your teen has just gotten in their first accident backing up in a parking lot. Quickly they look around to see if anyone else had witnessed the accident and speed away.
They've committed a hit and run.
Little did they know, security cameras have caught the whole thing on tape and now they'll pay the price.
In Washington State, the fine is $5000 and/or a year in jail plus restitution (payment to the victim of the crime for bodily injuries and/or damages) and court costs and fines.
In addition, depending on the circumstances, there could be prison time, community service, court costs, attorney fees...
In all, you and your teen could be looking at thousands and thousands of dollars.
