        232.149  RECORDS OF CRIMINAL OR JUVENILE JUSTICE
      AGENCIES.
         1.  The taking of a child into custody under the provisions of
      section 232.19 shall not be considered an arrest.
         2.  Records and files of a criminal or juvenile justice agency
      concerning a child involved in a delinquent act are public records,
      except that release of criminal history data, intelligence data, and
      law enforcement investigatory files is subject to the provisions of
      section 22.7 and chapter 692, and juvenile court social records, as
      defined in section 232.2, subsection 31, shall be deemed confidential
      criminal identification files under section 22.7, subsection 9.  The
      records are subject to sealing under section 232.150 unless the
      juvenile court waives its jurisdiction over the child so that the
      child may be prosecuted as an adult for a public offense.
         3.  Notwithstanding subsection 2, if a juvenile who has been
      placed in detention under section 232.22 escapes from the facility,
      the criminal or juvenile justice agency may release the name of the
      juvenile, the facts surrounding the escape, and the offense or
      alleged offense which resulted in the placement of the juvenile in
      the facility.
