In In re Tiffany G. (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 443, two minors were adjudged dependent children due to sexual abuse. Their mother and stepfather sent copies of court documents, including psychological evaluations of the minors, to various persons. In response, the juvenile court issued a nondissemination order prohibiting the parents from distributing confidential materials in the minors' file. (Id. at pp. 447-448.) The parents challenged the nondissemination order as in excess of jurisdiction and violative of section 827. (In re Tiffany G., supra, 29 Cal.App.4th at p. 448.) The Court of Appeal disagreed, noting the strong policy favoring confidentiality of juvenile court records. (Id. at pp. 450, 451.) According to the court, the juvenile court was obliged to protect the interests of minors and, in doing so, had the power to determine the extent to which its files were released. (Id. at pp. 451, 452.) The court also observed that disclosure of confidential materials would infringe upon the minors' constitutionally protected right of privacy. (Id. at p. 451.)
