I will offer here the observation that when any/all of the people involved in a criminal case are minors, sometimes "adjacent parents" whose kids are peripheral to situations where kids do crimes legit do not know what is going on in the court system or have complete stories to tell. That was the case in my own experience, and while I understand and respect the reasons for confidentiality, because these are children after all, it can result in situations where the "adjacent parents" know that bad stuff went down and who the kids involved were...but we really do not completely understand the situation.
