Yes, but, the minor can still demand the right to having an adult present before further questions are asked. Legally, questioning must then stop until the chosen person arrives.

Added: "Questioned" and "accused" are the key components of the question, but no information is given on who is doing the questioning and acccusing.

If it is a school administrator, that would be governed by the school administration's rules. Civilian school administrators are NOT law enforcement officers and their inter-actions with students do not fall under the purview of criminal procedure.

If done by a sworn law enforcment officer - the police dohave leeway to speak with minors regarding their actions without having to have a parent present.

It is when the questioning stage becomes the "accusatory" stage that most agencies require that a parent/guardian be notified and present.

When/If the situation is an arrest, and the juvenile is "in custody," parents/guardians MUST always be notified.

Yes - because - if the child is asked to make a statement - they should have a parent or guardian present.
