你好像来美国好久了,怎么会这样认为?好多小孩偷车等犯罪记录,一旦成年,就再也查不到了。
“Most state and federal statutes provide that a juvenile criminal record can be erased when the child reaches a certain age, and in some states this is mandatory. All state and federal laws include a provision allowing a juvenile to petition for removal of a criminal record once the child reaches majority.”
