Of course you can continue to be questioned, however, anything you say cannot be used against you in most circumstances.

Yes, they can. This is especially important in abuse cases. If the child were to be questioned in the presence of an abusing parent, the answers would very likely be inaccurate. However, in many cases the officers do allow the parents to attend as a courtesy and as a comfort to the child, as long as it is not a case where their presense will likely interfere with the investigation.
