[quote=Anonymous]I am embarrassed to admit this, but I got into a fight about nine yrs ago with my ex-boyfriend and was arrested for Domestic Violence. (2004.) I bailed out of jail and had a court date, but when I showed up, I wasn't on the docket so I never had to face a judge and charges were never brought against me. No misdemeanor, no felony...nothing. I never even received probation or had to take any anger management courses.

Well I have been working as a nanny for about six years now and have had about 10 different independent background checks run on me from different families. I have provided my #SSN, previous/current addresses, full name, etc. and for some odd reason, my arrest has never shown up. Of course, I never volunteered the information, but I am perplexed why it doesn't show up. I got fingerprinted electronically last week for a job in a school and I was nervous for my results. I was told it was an FBI check as well, but today found out everything came back clear.

Do arrests not show up on background checks and fingerprint scans?
Or could it possibly have been expunged since I never faced a judge?[/quote]
