Comments
This bill would make public the records of children younger than 14 who are CHARGED with an offense (not convicted). These children should be protected from having this information made public. That is the whole point of the juvenile justice system. Kids who are 13 and younger are still growing and changing. They are not yet who they will be. Publicity of this kind could ruin their lives forever, no matter how much they change and get rehabilitated.
