When I was 12 I was with a kid who walked in the back door of a bar and took some empty cans (I was sitting out side) He came out and ran. Some guy came out and tackled me then after a while the kid I was with came out of hiding.

When I was arrested for this I was told that they were charging me with assisting breaking and entering or something like that. They told me that if I do 16 hours community service, pay a fine and go 5 years with out getting arrested It would be removed from my record.

It has been more then 5 years and I have always had problems getting jobs. As well I have applied for a position which requires national security clearence. They pulled up this in my records and I now find out that I lied to just about every job I have ever applied to it says I have been charged with "BURGLARY IN THE SECOND DEGREE" and that I "unlawfully and knowingly entered a building, with the intent to commit a crime"

In the police report it states that I never entered and I believe it also states that I had no clue what was going on. Statements taken from my self and the two other kids involved.

This has not only blown my security clearence (by me saying that I had not commited a felony) but has caused me problems with getting other jobs. The FBI has a copy of this as well as a statement that I have lied on my application for clearence. These charges are bs and I am unsure what I should do about it. Any advice would be helpful.

One thing considered in Security Clearance background investigations is your INTEGRITY. It is best to be thoroughly honest even if it may bring bad light on you. Omitted stuff gets pulled up and it appears you were attempting to hide it (cause for denial). Be honest. Appeal the decision if you truely believe you had forgotten of it, or if you believed that you didn't have to report it.
Do so in writing. I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
