Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Payed Civil Demand

[weouthere]

Hello everyone. I'm 17 years old. I was caught shoplifting at (dept. store). I wasn't arrested. I got a Civil Demand and payed it like a complete idiot, not realizing that it could get me on a theft database. I got the Civil Demand Letter from the Law Offices in Florida. I called them and asked them that when I payed the Civil Demand and that I'm a minor will I be on a theft database? They said No and that they're just there to help make the payments. Is there still a possibility that I'm on a theft database. I also read that Juveniles aren't included in databases in which a person was under the age of 18 when an incident occurred.

The main database - The National Retail Theft Database is not suppose to accept reports on people under 18. You probably were not reported to any database but we cannot say for sure.

I am a retail theft consultant and answer questions like yours daily. No they do not place minors names in these databases

The reason I said we couldn't say for sure they would not be in a theft database is because sometimes these databases contain errors - minors put in due to wrong DOB given, people not removed after 7 yrs. etc. They are not suppose to be put in if a minor is true.

Let add there are several databases but none enter names of minors. If you do discover your name in such a database for an event that happened while you were a minor contact the database and request you be removed because you were minor at time.
