section 232.19 shall not be considered an arrest.
2. Records and files of a criminal or juvenile justice agency
concerning a child involved in a delinquent act are public records,
except that release of criminal history data, intelligence data, and
law enforcement investigatory files is subject to the provisions of
section 22.7 and chapter 692, and juvenile court social records, as
defined in section 232.2, subsection 31, shall be deemed confidential

placed in detention under section 232.22 escapes from the facility,
the criminal or juvenile justice agency may release the name of the

the facility. Section History: Early Form
