232.92 - EXCLUSION OF PUBLIC FROM HEARINGS.

        232.92  EXCLUSION OF PUBLIC FROM HEARINGS.
         Hearings held under this division are open to the public unless
      the court, on the motion of any of the parties or upon the court's
      own motion, excludes the public.  The court shall exclude the public
      from a hearing if the court determines that the possibility of damage
      or harm to the child outweighs the public's interest in having an
      open hearing.  Upon closing the hearing to the public, the court may
      admit those persons who have direct interest in the case or in the
      work of the court.
