Adults are charged with crimes. Children are charged with delinquent acts. in MARYLAND. This case is in Maryland.

Maryland has a very rehabilitative approach to juvenile justice. It's not perfect. But it's not the hellhole you guys hear about on national news.

"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.)


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.

Josh Duggar is interested, too.


Again, not Maryland.

It was an assault but should not rise to criminal charges.

Yes, a punishment for one person is, in part, delivered as a deterrent to others in society (from committing the same act).

Chicken and egg, right? I mean it was an unwanted sexual touching of another...it is assault. If it is assault, then he should be charged, right? I don't object to it being called an assault, because it is what is it. I don't like to see a life marred so young by something that was clearly stupid and the lesson doesn't need to be taught to him by handing down a lifelong punishment.


I am not sure you could call in sexual or assault.

I agree.

This is an act of thirteen year old stupidity.

He deserves a school level punishment and hopefully a lesson learned.

Not having his life ruined for being dumb and jerky.
