Re: Under 18

I know of no reason why such information could not be shared among merchants, merely because the subject is under 18 and no criminal charges were apparently filed. This incident apparently involved no criminal adjudication of a juvenile by a court of law which, of course, would've required the record of such to remain under seal but apparently occurred entirely outside the juvenile criminal justice system and therefore would not have the protection of those requirements of confidentiality.
