What is the name of your state?Montana
Please bear with me as I don't know where to go with this let alone explain my question.
As a juvenile, a person is punished for a crime by being placed in foster care. At the end of the "sentence", that record is sealed. What happens, if during the course of court proceedings for the foster home, the juvenile record is revealed and posted on the Internet? Can anything be done to those specific court records (which are posted on the Internet and "pop" when the person's name is put into a search engine) to recover the confidentiality of those sealed records? I don't know if anything can be done. The person is no longer a minor but I find this kind of disturbing. Where would one even start with something like this?
Thanks in advance!!
