what are minors rights during an investigation?

Question

Also want to know guidelines and restrictions police have when investigating minor for crime

Answer 1

You need to research the decision in the Gualt case as decided by the Supreme Court. It gave minors the same rights that the Miranda decision gives to adults.

Answer 2

The police can investigate a child for a crime without having to get permission from anyone, including the parent, however, if the child is just getting questioned about something the parent is usually asked for permission. I work in a school where kids have been questioned, and if the cops show up we notify the parent, but the cops don't always need to have consent. There are times when they don't. A parent can ask to be present in the room when a child is being questioned. A minor can also ask for their parent to be present, and the cops have to wait. If the minor is especially young, there might be a counselor or psychologist present. A minor has the right not to say a word if he doesn't want to. There are a lot of other things too, that vary from state to state. But, the police are fair and careful when dealing with minors.

Answer 3

The guidelines and restrictions would usually depend on the state. I know under NY law minors usually have to have a parent present when being questioned by police. Sorry I cant help more. You can always check criminal procedure law, or family law (which usually governs minors).

Answer 4

The minor has the following rights:
1. The right to remain silent,
2. The right to counsel of choice,

Answer 5

First no you have been given wrong answers from some.

you have all the same rights, you have the right to remain silent and you have a right to an attorney before you are questioned.

You can be questioned without your parents present, it happens all the time.

Answer 6
