When my child fills out an application for employment or school, do they have to disclose their juvenile arrest record?
Yes, the youth must disclose their arrest history unless the record has been sealed or expunged. According to Florida law, the youth can deny any arrest covered by the sealed or expunged record. However, sections 943.0585 and 943.059, Florida Statutes, impose certain exceptions, requiring acknowledgement of arrests when, for example, the individual seeks employment with a criminal justice agency, licensed child care facility, and other sensitive positions.
