No, they can't. Any minor under the age of 18 period cannot be questioned by authorities. It's considered illegal.

Were either of Hitler's parents mentally challenged?

There is no historical evidence or consensus suggesting that either of Hitler's parents were mentally challenged. His father, Alois Hitler, was a customs officer, and his mother, Klara Hitler, was described as a gentle and caring person. However, it is important to note that without proper medical examinations or documented evidence, it is challenging to definitively assess someone's mental health from the past.

Your mother-in-law has a mentally challenged daughter who gets a check every month from the state and spends it on herself and does not use any of it for her daughter Is this misappropiation of funds?

The question is worded in a confusing manner. If you mean that Mother-in-law gets a check for the benefit of her mentally challenged daughter but does not use it for that purpose - then the question must be asked - How do you know this for sure? Maybe it frees up other money that she might not normally have to use for the benefit of the daughter. If you have proof that the mentally challenged daughter is mis-treated or in a bad way due to neglect - by all means contact Social Services or law enforcement to have them look into it. Without any proof - you don't have much.

Can your 16 year old be questioned at school in Michigan after requestig the presents of her parents?

Of course you can continue to be questioned, however, anything you say cannot be used against you in most circumstances. In theory a minor cannot be questioned by Police without the presence of a lawyer or legal parent/guardian. A school official though, does not need your parent present to question you, but you do have the right to request him/her to stop questioning you until a parent arrives.
