Generally speaking, juvenile records are NOT public record. Certain governmental agencies, such as the State Attorney's Office, will have access to a juvenile's record to use in prosecuting that juvenile. However, a member of the public cannot simply walk up to the Clerk of Court and pull a juvenile offender's file.
