sooo that means, if i didnt have it sealed they can still see what it was, and that i have one? Even though this happend when i was a minor, a very young minor. Wasnt tried as an adult or anything, just juvinal court, and had to do counseling and probation for 3 months
A felony is a serious matter even at age 14, that is almost an adult.
A very young minor is an infant. It is possible that your felony cannot be expunged or sealed. Herie is information form Allen Co but the same applies state wide.
Q.) When I turn 18, will I automatically be terminated from probation supervision?
A.) No. A youth is not automatically removed from probation supervision at the age of 18. The Juvenile Court can maintain jurisdiction until the age of 21. However, if for any reason the youth would require detention as a result of a probation violation, the youth would be detained at the Allen County Justice Center rather than in the Allen County Juvenile Detention Center.
Q.) Are my juvenile records automatically sealed after I turn 18?
A.) No. There are two mechanisms available with which to seal a juvenile record. The first is called expungement. An expungement of a record can be requested if the juvenile is not found delinquent or unruly of the offense for which they are charged, based upon the complaint filed. There is no cost for filing a request for expungement. The second is called "seal" of record. A person may request that records be sealed two (2) years after the final court order in a case. There is a cost for filing for seal of record, plus any outstanding court costs. There are certain felony offenses that cannot be sealed. Contact the Clerk's Office for additional information regarding seal or expungement of records.
