Does the Constitution of the U.S. also protect disabled/mental children under 18? If so, why does Louisiana Office of Youth Development (regional office-Baton Rouge) not know this? Why can't children's mental records be presented in juvenile court? When a juvenile has a court appointed attorney, is it not logical for that attorney to inform the child's parents of the proceedings either through correnspondance via letter or telephone?

I am definitely not a lawyer, but LA state laws is one of 2 states which practice French Law. French law actually usually is more protective than English law.
...In regards to mental health records, usually the court would need to show cause, and the records be entered into evidence. Juvenile as in 16 years old is different than juvenile as in 12 regarding the children's parents right...sorry I cannot be more specific without exact info.
