Restraining order against a minor

Is it possible for a parent to get a restraining order against a minor and that minor's parent not be notified about it?

Why is the minor's parent's ignorance a stipulation?

That's a ridiculous question. Even if you were somehow able to get a restraining order against the child without notifying the parents, don't you think the child is going to tell his/her parents about it?

First, this is about another parent getting a restraining order against my child to protect their child. I'm asking because I would think I would be notified since both children involved are minors. It was something posted on Facebook. I know this isn't a reliable source so I was asking if it were possible before I start asking questions of this other parent and the person who posted the information. I'm sorry I didn't give my position in this situation, I was just needing to know if it's possible.

I have gotten RS against people in the past and there has always been a hearing before it's granted. I was not notified of one so I was asking.

Now, can I get a response to my question?

Wouldn't it be easier just to ask your kid?

I did ask my child about it. He said that is what the other kid told him. I was just going to ask the child's parents about it but I wanted to ask here first if it was even possible. It was posted on a third child's FB page as some sort of warning to another child that was defending something my child had posted. I know it's just kids being kids but I really would like to know if this sort of thing is possible.

Doesn't the party having the RS filed against them have to be notified? How else would they know not to violate it? And since my son is a minor, wouldn't I then need to be notified?

If it were my child and I felt I had enough grounds to file a RS, I would make sure to try and come to some sort of resolution by talking with the parents first. But that's me, and I know this is all hearsay.

Seriously? By now on this site, you should know that such open-ended questions aren't answered w/o further questions. And you can lose the attitude about it.

It was just a general question. The specifics didn't seem that important to the question. In general, can a RS be filed for and granted against a minor without the minor's parent or guardian being notified?

I'm sorry if it seemed like I had an attitude. I was not getting any specific questions for more information and was not getting an answer to my question. I just would like to know if it's possible before I question the parent involved.

Thanks to anyone that might know the answer or where I might be able to find it.

Go to the Circuit or Juvenile Court in your county (in person, they won't tell you over the phone) with ID and ask if anything was filed against your child, or you on behalf of your child. The Clerk's office should also be able to tell you, although they might direct you to the Court to ask.

Have the other child's name, in case they want that info, and they can look it up.

Maybe something was filed, but the person didn't have your son's address, so you haven't yet been served.

Perfect. I was trying to find it through the county's records online but being juvenile I didn't really think I would.

Thanks!
