A police officer gave my sister (14yrs.) a ticket for unlawful sexual intercourse, because she's pregnant, and began an investigation without reading her rights to her. Also she began to harrass her by humiliating her, putting her down, and using hurtful comments in front of the school counselor. All this was happening without any permission to speak with her from her parents; the principal of the school commented that she was unaware of the situation. Also my father requires an ASL Interpretor required by California Law through the ADA Act which they did not feel necesary to provide. Furthermore 2days later we went back to the school and they re-did the investigation legitimately in front of the principal still no interpretor. The police officer did at this time read my sister her rights, but it was obvious that she did not understand, when I noticed my sister was very bothered by the situation I explained she did not have to answer if she did not want to. They made me leave the room.
