Several years ago my son, a minor was questioned in a store for placing a slingshot rubberband in his pocket. When he admitted he did it, they called police but did not place any charges. It turns out they reported him to a database of shoplifters at a management association.
Recently,he was denied a position at a computer retail establishment verbally, as they said he pleaded guilty and therefore was not eligible for hire.
Since criminal law prevents juvenile records to be shown to the public...What about shoplifting databases? My son was denied employment verbally without any mention of the FCRA (fair credit) and no follow up of what agency reported him etc. What recourse do we have to SEAL these records? This was a stupid "kid" issue and no problems like that have ever happened again.
