Rule 10.2. Confidentiality of record

(a) The court record shall be confidential, with the sole exception regarding the provisions of Rule 4.5 of this appendix. It may be examined only by the Prosecutor, the attorney of record for the minor or the officers of the court at the place and time designated therefor.

(b) All information supplied by private persons demanding such guaranty shall be kept confidential. If the court deems necessary, it will order the Prosecutor and the defense to abstain from divulging said information to the minor, his parents or guardians inasmuch as it may be prejudicial to them, under pain of being held in contempt of court, and other disciplinary measures.

(c) The court, exercising its parens patriae powers shall also adopt cautionary measures to prevent that information potentially prejudicial to the physical and mental welfare of the minor be divulged to him, his parents, guardians or court-appointed defender.
