Yes, if they have committed a crime, but they have the same rights to council as an adult. In addition, in the US they are allowed to speak to their parents and have them present during questioning.

Whether a police officer or any other person in authority can talk to a child without that child's parents being there depends on the law in your area.

Many places do not allow police officers or ancillary staff to interview children (minors) without a parent or other appropriate adult being present.

On the other hand, if a police officer sees a child doing something potentially dangerous (running across a road, or teasing a dog, for example), or about to do something illegal (about to write on a wall, perhaps, or bullying another person) then that police officer can certainly have a chat with the child, explaining in a calm way that these kind of actions could easily result in trouble for the child.

A police officer would be failing in their duty if they ignored problem behaviour or potentially dangerous situations without giving a friendly warning, and though they wouldn't make an official report they'd make a note (even just a mental note) about the incident so that if they encountered a problem with the same child in the future they'd have some background information on which they could act or report.
