Can a minor be interrogated by a cop in the state of kansas without a parent?

Answer 1

I got this from a Seattle-based firm. I am assuming that since Miranda rights apply to all states for adults, the same goes for minors.

"In the Juvenile Justice System, a minor has the same constitutional rights as an adult. For example, a minor is entitled to have their Miranda rights read to them, as would an adult. Furthermore, a minor may invoke their Miranda rights and not make any statement unless they have an attorney present. Also, although a minor may request to have their parents present before any questioning by law enforcement, the police are not required to inform a minor of this before taking a statement or interrogating the minor. It should be noted that school officials, teachers, and counselors do not have to advise a minor of his constitutional rights before questioning unless they are doing so at the direction of the police."

Answer 2

I love it when people answer to things they have no idea about. In kansas, the magic age is 14. Over that and you can be legally interrogated without a parent being involved or even advised prior to the questioning. If you are not a suspect in the crime, then the Police can ask you questions at any age. Its the law, check it out

Answer 3

Not technically... but then, cops love to bully and otherwise interrogate suspects without any evidenced and before reading them their rights, and I'm sure they treat minors with even less regard for the law.
