Description
The mother of O H , a juvenile, petitioned directly to this Court for his release from the Missouri Intermediate Reformatory at Algoa, Missouri. Pursuant to a writ issued by this Court, respondent made a return, the petitioner filed a reply, the parties entered into a stipulation of facts, and the case was fully submitted on written briefs and oral argument. Subsequently, the Attorney General filed a ""Notice of Release"" advising that O H has been released from the Missouri Intermediate Reformatory and has been placed in after-care status by the State Board of Training Schools. At the same time, the Attorney General stated that "" respondent herein does not oppose the determination of this case even though the petitioner is no longer in custody since the respondent believes that this case presents issues which are of great importance and which may arise again"". Under these circumstances, this Court in the exercise of its discretion will not dismiss these proceedings on the grounds of mootness. Boone v. Danforth, 463 S.W.2d 825, 829 (Mo. banc 1971); cf. In Re C F B , 497 S.W.2d 831, l.c. 834 (Mo. App. 1973).
