(d) Nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to prevent access by a parent or legal guardian of a youth to records or files of such youth where access is otherwise specifically authorized by law. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the official case records produced and maintained by the division shall be made available to a probation department, upon written request, where an order of the court has been issued directing such department to conduct an investigation pursuant to the provisions of sections 390.20 and 720.20 of the criminal procedure law and section 351.1 of the family court act.
