where I work we do police background checks on all potential employees. Juvi records show up on them. We ussually don't hold it against the person because kids do sometimes make stupid mistakes, but depending on the crime, and how long its been we sometimes have to hold itagainst them

Juvenile records are NOT destroyed.
Juveniles records are "sealed" which means that "regular" access is denied. However, a court may reopen those records at any given time should you ever get in trouble as an adult to determine if the past and present indicate a problem.
One thing for sure, an ommission of your juvenile record on a police application....they find out....you won't get hired for deception!

Your juvinal record is open to almost any law enforcement agency or government security agency. This means it is open to many private employers.
When your juvi record is sealed it only means that your record can not be considered in any future court proceedings. Records being expunged means very little more.
Anybody who thinks you juvi records "self-destruct" magically on your 18th birthday is a fool.

It will come up on your background. It WILL HURT YOU.
Depending on the agency and depending on how long ago your offense was... It may not be a total disqualifier but you are definitely in for an uphill battle.

Juvenile records are thrown out when you become 18, unless its a felony charge.

I don't think you completely read my sources.

BTW, did you see anyone else list a source for their information?
