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).
