    1.  A child in need of supervision (CINS) petition or a juvenile delinquency petition was filed concerning you, or
    2.  You received a juvenile citation.

Not every person with a juvenile record will be eligible for expungement. There are specific grounds for expungement (e.g., reasons why an expungement is granted).
