Idaho Public Records Act
The Idaho Public Records Act, established in 1990, governs access to public documents in Idaho. All records are presumed to be open records. Exemptions include court records that would result in the release of confidentiality, law enforcement investigations, juvenile records, voting records of the sexual offender classification board, records concerning discrimination investigations, workers compensation records, prisoner records, current and former public employees, income tax information, hospital and medical care records, Idaho Housing and FInance Association, voter registration cards, records in the address confidentiality program, trade secrets including academic research, archaeological records and endangered species locations, draft legislation records, underwriting and claims records of the Idaho petroleum clean water trust fund, or judicial authorization of abortions for minors.
Thank you for posting this information. The paragraph above was taken from the link provided in this quote (juvenile records BBM). It specifically states juvenile records are an exception to the Act. I agree that we need a US lawyer's input here. Why wouldn't these documents be considered juvenile records? Am I misinterpreting something? I hope I am not coming across as argumentative or rude as I am truly just trying to understand how such personal information could be legally publicly released.
To be transparent, I did request (through a PM) and read a few pages last week provided to me by another WebSleuther, but at the time I didn't know where they came from. I now believe the documents I saw were part of this document dump, and they were sad and upsetting and concerned juveniles.
ETA I just saw the posts that the Idaho ACT probably doesn't pertain to the documents we are discussing. Makes sense. Wonder what the corresponding TX law is?
