Define the circumstances. Is the minor in full custodial arrest and detention at a facility somewhere (police station-juve facility-etc) -OR - is he simply stopped on the street and asked preliminary questions about the event, which then ultimately led to his arrest?
yes if there involve in a crime or a suspect
Yes but it depends if it involves the parent
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.
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.
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.
Yes, it is a misconception that minors must have the parent or legal guardian present when being interviewed by authorities. The minor has the same options that an adult has, which is to refuse to answer questions and if placed under arrest has the right to legal counsel either private or a public defender.
What is being asked? The question is incomplete.
I am not familiar with all California law but I would say the answer to this question is yes. A police officer can answer your cell phone, but, they may not search (look at contacts etc.) without a warrant.
If the alleged abuse is about the parent then yes.
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. (????)
If you are suspected of shoplifting, yes. They usually have an officer present however.
What is your question? Please rewrite.
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)
No it isn't the child must be 16 (i think)
Yes but it depends if it involves the parent
