jurisdiction of the juvenile court may before trial or at any stage of
the proceedings before it, order that any or all of the charges be
removed to the juvenile court for consolidation and hearing with the
other charge or charges before the juvenile court.

[(h)](f) When jurisdiction shall have been obtained by the
court in the case of any child, such child shall continue under the
jurisdiction of the court until he becomes 21 years of age unless dis-
charged prior thereto; provided, however, that nothing herein con-
tained shall affect the jurisdiction of other courts over offenses com-
mitted by such child after he reaches the age of 18. If any child
[between the ages of 16 and 18 years brought before the judge in
the exercise of the aforesaid jurisdiction] who has reached his
sixteenth birthday is charged with the commission of an act or acts
which would amount to a misdemeanor or felony if committed by an
adult, or if any child who has not reached, his fourteenth birthday
is charged with committing an act which, if committed by an adult,
would be punishable by death or life imprisonment, the judge after
full investigation, may in his discretion waive jurisdiction and order
such child held for action under the regular procedure that would
follow if such act or acts had been committed by an adult.

[(i)](g) [He] The court shall have power to require any
parent to make restitution for acts of destruction or theft of any
property owned by another, and for necessary medical expenses
occasioned by acts of wilful or malicious personal injury to another,
caused or committed by the minor child of such parent; provided,
however, that the limit of such parent's liability under this sub-
section shall not exceed the sum of [five hundred dollars ($500.00]
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for property and [five hundred
dollars ($500.00)] one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for medical
expenses; provided further, however, that the court may pass an
appropriate order requiring such minor child who destroys or
steals property or inflicts personal injury to make restitution him-
self if such is feasible considering the age and circumstances of
such child and the requirement of the child's making restitution
shall precede any liability of the parent hereunder.

[(j)](h)[He] The court shall have authority to dispose of

juvenile case records of the court after the child involved has reached
21 years of age and at least five years have elapsed from the date
that the case was closed by order of said court.
