Can a juvenile be tried in open court?

A little background... My 14 yr old son had a run in with an adult neighbor. We all went to court and the local municipal court judge, who is a lawyer by day and a judge by night, ordered both parties to stay away from each other. Us and the neighbor live in the same apartment complex. Opposite ends of the same building to be more precise. Neither the neighbor nor my son did abide by the judges order. Both were visiting friends that had apartments in the breezeway both parties were ordered to stay out of, my son and the neighbor did not talk to each other. The neighbor video taped my son entering and leaving his neighbors apartment, who shares his breezeway. When we went to court, as a follow up, the judge was shown the video tape and the he fined ME $400, gave ME a 90 day suspended jail sentence, and put ME on 24 months probation, because I could not control my son. I was not aware my son was even going into that breezeway.

We returned to court recently, another follow up, and the neighbor told the judge my son is still coming into his breezeway. The judge asked my son how he pleads and my son said not guilty. The judge set his trial date for the middle of October in the city court. The same court you go to for speeding, having no insurance, DUI etc.

My question is, can my son be tried in open court at the age of 15, he has had a birthday since all this started. I was under the impression a juvenile had to be tried in a closed courtroom. If he is tried in open court will it be considered a violation of his rights as a juvenile?
