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.
What is being asked? The question is incomplete.
If the alleged abuse is about the parent then yes.
In Virginia, a police officer can question a minor without a parent present, but there are specific guidelines to follow. Officers are encouraged to notify a parent or guardian and allow them to be present during questioning, especially if the minor is in custody. However, if the minor is not in custody, they can be questioned without parental consent. It's important for the minor to understand their rights, including the right to refuse to answer questions.
Yes, but it's a better idea for a lawyer to be present.
Yes
yes
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. (????)
In New York, a police officer can question a 17-year-old without a parent present, as 17 is the age of criminal responsibility in the state. However, the minor has the right to have a parent or guardian present during questioning if they choose. It's important for the minor to understand their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel. Parents are typically encouraged to be involved, but their presence is not legally required for the questioning to occur.
If you are suspected of shoplifting, yes. They usually have an officer present however.
In most cases, it is not illegal to question a minor without a parent present. However, it is generally recommended that a parent or guardian be present during questioning to protect the minor's rights and ensure their well-being.
Police are able to interview the child at the school with the principal present in cases of suspected child abuse, however, I cannot find a law that specifically prevents you from or allows you to interview the child but I would definitely not recommend it without a police officer also present. Odds are if you involve the parent you are more likely to get the truth anyways (unless you are dealing with teenagers in which case you should definitely involve your resource officer; that you could probably do)
Yes but it depends if it involves the parent
