Did the crime just occur? Is the juvenile stopped on the street? Is the juvenile in custody? Unable to answer without more specific information about the event. (????)
If the alleged abuse is about the parent then yes.
Yes, but it's a better idea for a lawyer to be present.
Yes but it depends if it involves the parent
No it isn't the child must be 16 (i think)
Yes. The school can act in the place of the parent while the child is at school. This was decided in court several years ago and it is called locus partentis.
Teachers and administrators can question kids. If a police officer is present or performing the questioning, a child has a right to both an attorney and their parent. Check your school district''s webpage and your state's code. For example, google "Michigan State Code, interrogation of a minor" and see what the age and rules are for your state.
More would have to be known about the specific incident - so the answer is a qualified - maybe. For instance: If a school staff member was present - OR - the questioning had something to do with allegations that the child was being abused by their parent(s), yes, they could.
If the question is an incriminating one then absolutely not. Example: Did you break the window next door? If the question isn't incriminating then yes. Example: Did you see where the robber ran?
The authorities can question anyone at any time. The individual does not have to answer. They are only entitled to counsel if they are being charged with a crime.
Not officially, however, he can take the child into custody to the station then call the parent or guardian who will have to sit in on the questioning either alone or with an attorney.
yes
It is likely they can, it is the parent's obligation to quiet the child, not the officer. The officer is not your child, and can ask questions if they normally would.
