I think they are sealed because people want the kids to be able to be rehabilitated, and not be plagued by their deeds when they were so young. I can see both sides of the arguement, really. We know that person's pre-frontal cortex, the part that helps us make rational decisions, does not really finish developing until the 20s (but don't absolutely quote me on that). On the other hand, there is legitimate reason to be weary of these kinds of children when we know how cruel they've been. I guess it depends on what you believe about a person's ability to be rehabilitated, or improved, or whatever....
