My point is that the law is important even for the cases that the parent agrees with. There are clear categorizes for what qualifies for RTBF and they were examined well in this case. The judge rightfully determined that one person has likely changed and shouldn't be burdened by their history, but that another should.

This isn't just a blanket "you can erase things you don't like in the news about you" that some people have made it out to be.
