Thats true, you never have to reveal anything that happened before you were 18, that info is sealed forever and its illegale to ever open it, unless you authorize it.
By admitting it, they will keep it on file, they type down almost everything you ever say when you cross the border so they have a very long record on file. I am not sure if you can get an attorney or MP to contact anyone to have that part of your file erased, but it may be worth looking into so that you never have to bring it up again when crossing the border.
I vaguely remember talking to someone about this when I was going through all the BS and I was given the info (I think so much was going on I don't clearly remember) that the records are 100% private and the only way to get a hold of them and/or edit them is by attorney. But that was on the Canadian side of things and I don't know what the procedure would be, or if there is one, for editing and/or deleting information from it.
Worth looking into though.
