[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Juveniles are charged with a "delinquent act." Adults are charged with a "crime."  The processes are different and juvenile charges cannot be held against an adult later in life. [/quote]
"Held against?"  That's not correct.  They can certainly be used as a basis to deny a job, deny certain admissions to schools or even to obtain a license late (law license, medical license, drivers license.)[/quote]

No, they can't.  Juvenile records are automatically sealed in Maryland upon termination of the court's jurisdiction.  You don't have to petition for it.  And then they are destroyed after 12 years.   When employers run a record check, it does not show up.   And, if you get your record expunged, then it's actually a criminal offense for an employer or a school to fire you, not hire you, or not admit you to the school, solely due to the expunged charges.

Wrong on so many levels. [/quote]

No it's not wrong. It's in Maryalnd code. The Criminal Procedure article. Look it up. [/quote]

It could 100% affect his ability to secure a job, license, acceptance into the military, acceptance into some schools, etc.  The CHARGE alone could.  Again, Josh Duggar would love to debate the fact that his juvenile record did not just disappear.  Go read some of the other links on the prior pages...the do NOT just disappear, they ARE locatable and they ARE held against people.[/quote]
