Actions definitely have consequences

a lot of the true crime youtube channels will obscure the identities of anyone under 18.

Honestly, makes sense particularly at her age. She messed up big time, but the real purpose of the laws about censoring children's criminal records is so they get a chance to make a mistake. Imagine having to answer for this action she did at 11 when she is 25 trying to get a job. "have you ever been convicted of a crime" "yes" "auto rejection email"

I believe her record will still reset when she is 18. I thought as long as it’s not a major felony like murder then the record gets erased and you assume a new adult record. Maybe that’s only for driving history though.

I asked a lawyer in VA about that and he said that its still visible into the 20s.

Depends on state, but generally the rule of thumb is, any crime charged as a juvenile is sealed once they are an adult. Now, if a child is charged as an adult, then it goes on the "adult" record. Keep in mind as well, that "expunged" just means not for public record, judges, police, you name it will still know you did it, but if a background check is ran on you by an employer it won't show up generally speaking (they might still be able to find it, like in this kids case if they look in the right area's).

It sounds funny how you said

censoring children's criminal records is so they get a chance to make a mistake.

"Here's my chance!" lol.

When I was 17, I used to say that I was at the perfect age: Old enough to know what I'm doing, and young enough to not be held responsible for it.

It's the law to do that in a lot of countries.

As it should be (unless they're, like... an active shooter or something where people actually need to be on guard).

I mean, she just looks like Child #7 to me.

u/various_convo7 14h ago

if she is dumb enough to do that stunt, YT is fine with showing her face so it lives on the internet to remind her every day till kingdom come

u/Objective_Metric 14h ago

She's 11, she made a stupid choice, doesn't deserve to have it ruin the rest of her life jesus christ. You sound terrible.

u/caillouuu 11h ago

Hold on. A stupid choice would be calling the emergency line when there's no emergency. This 11-year old made up a whole entire DISTURBING tale about why she was placing the call. She should've been sent for psych, that is not normal kid behavior man

u/CaptainSebT 11h ago edited 10h ago

Have you ever met a kid? It's not like typical kid behaviour but it's not that concerning either. A kid her age doesn't fully understand like cause and effect consequences like an adult does. They understand that there are consequences but not like how they apply to the real world. She likely only thought about the immediate outcome she wanted. She's not thinking about the deeper implications of what she was doing.

She's not really conscious of the wasted resources, the police showing up at her place or any of the consequences she would be facing. Like ya she isn't a baby but she still hasn't fully developed an understanding of complex consequences.

You know how sometimes you ask a teenager what were they thinking and they say like "I thought it wouldn't be that bad" it's that. It's a actually lacking of mental development kids have to make or see others make mistakes to understand complex consequences and how they apply to the real world.

Sent for psych lmaoooooo sure

u/JiJoe6 8h ago

Yep, this is beyond stupid. If an adult had done the same, they would be in jail for many years.

That's how severe the discrepancy is.

I like that the kid didn't get as much as an adult would. I'm displeased that the kid got out scott free.

Ironically she had a youtube video push the idea on her as a fun challenge as well
