    Default Will a Juvenile Offense Be on My Background Check and Affect Work or College

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: MA
    I'm 16 years old and me and two other friends made a bad choice, we smashed a couple mailboxes. Of course, the police were called and we were quickly apprehended, since we were cooperative the cop was actually cool to us. What ended up happening was we were picked up by our parents at the police station and we had to cover the damages; we even volunteered to build new mailboxes for the people. No court dates, no hearings, no nothing, just a letter sent to our houses about the price for the damages. Will colleges and places of employment see this event or do you think this was just waived off?

    If all that is involved is your paying of restitution, no court involvement, I would not expect this to show up on a typical background check. Note that a really deep background check can turn up all sorts of embarrassing stuff, because it can involve interviews with people you know or digging through old police records; but odds are you'll never go through that type of investigation. (And I suspect that, if you did, the event would still not interfere with your future as long as the incident remains isolated.)
