Note: Supplies omitted term. 1995 Wis. Act 352 amended this provision by inserting "anyone" as the last word, replacing "the juvenile". The purpose of the change was to provide that inspection under this provision was not to be allowed where injury to anyone would result from inspection by anyone with inspection rights. The insertion of "juvenile" is necessary to provide that harm from inspection by anyone with inspection rights can be prevented.
