(1) A youth is guilty of aiding and abetting a conduct rule violation if the youth intentionally does any of the following:

(a) Encourages, directs, commands, hires, coerces, requests or signals another youth to commit a conduct rule violation.

(b) Assists another person, prior to a conduct rule violation, in planning or preparing for committing a conduct rule violation, with intent that the conduct rule violation be committed.

(c) Assists another person during commission of a conduct rule violation, whether or not this assistance was planned in advance.

(d) Destroys evidence of a conduct rule violation committed by another person or otherwise helps to prevent discovery of a conduct rule violation or of the person who committed the violation.

(2) If a youth knows of a plan to commit a conduct rule violation or knows of the commission of a conduct rule violation, failure of the youth to report the plan or commission is a conduct rule violation.

(3) A youth may be charged with both a substantive conduct rule violation and aiding and abetting or knowing of that conduct rule violation, based on the same incident, but may be found guilty of only one.

(4) A youth may be charged and found guilty of aiding and abetting or knowing of a conduct rule violation even if no one is charged or found guilty of committing the conduct rule violation.

(5) The penalty for aiding and abetting or knowing of a conduct rule violation shall normally be the same as for the substantive conduct rule violation.

(6) The penalty for a youth who aids and abets or knows of a conduct rule violation need not be based in any way on the penalty, if any, for the youth who actually committed the conduct rule violation.
