how far can a police officer investigate and discuss personal matters without parental consent?

Question

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.

It is really shocking that a police officer and principle would treat your sister such a cruel way. No fourteen year old should be left to deal with the police on her own; this is just wrong. Aside from being mean, though, it looks like your dad consented to them asking he questions, since he was there. And of course, they can ask your sister questions, because it appears that a crime has been committed. But she's not the criminal...
The crime of unlawful sexual intercourse, in CA, is aimed at adults having sex with minors. I.e., It is a statutory rape law, intended to combat the high rate of teenage pregnancy, by penalizing the adult men who are having sex with, and impregnating, these young women. It proscibes different penalties, depending on the age difference between the partners. The penalties, if you ask someone who has a little girl, seem pretty light.

My guess is, they really want to know who her child's father is, so they can charge him, and they're probably not really interested in doing anything to her, besides scaring her. Just tell them, and maybe the other kids (and adults!) around will think twice before making life-altering decisions when they're so young. Pls take care of your sister, and do the right thing.

in accordance to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the baptism of a baby is basically valid/licit if a minimum of one parent is of the same opinion to it, until eventually the toddler is in drawing near, mortal probability. no matter in case your mom by some ability managed to come across a priest who replaced into prepared to finish the sacrament in violation of church regulation (that may under no circumstances take position), the baptism does not be valid. a minimum of one parent (grandparents do not count number) should be cutting-edge and provides you their finished consent as a fashion to have a valid baptism ensue. the single and easily exception to this rule is an emergency baptism, which interior reason uncommon. So, until eventually your toddler is on his/her death mattress (God forbid), then you extremely have not some thing to be stricken about. All that being reported, I strongly inspire you to deeply come across the Catholic faith beforehand rejecting it as a chance on your household. i replaced into atheist for the overall public of my man or woman existence, until eventually i extremely took the time to appreciate Catholicism. basically mind-set it with an open options & heart. you received't remorseful about it.
