Legal Rights for Youth

LegalRights4U.ca features nine animated videos that star K9, a teenager who keeps finding young people in difficult legal situations. K9 uses these opportunities to teach the young people about their rights and responsibilities. The situations, which are common to young people in real life, include:

• Street Freedoms
• The Stuff Your Mom Warned You About
• Your Rights in a Car
• Mimi’s in Custody
• Tagging
• Don’t Look in My Locker!
• Lily on Trial
• The Party
• At the Border

The site also includes downloadable handouts, a teacher’s guide and links to organizations throughout Canada that focus on legal rights for youth.
