Businesses count as victims in youth cases

The law now treats companies and other groups as victims in youth court cases. Adult relatives of a child victim and relatives of a homicide victim still count as victims. This applies when a youth does something that would be a crime for an adult. Victim status can affect restitution and other court orders in the case.
