Re: Parental Presence during questioning of juvinile

Parental presence is required at any time until age 18 or sooner if the minor child is emancipated by either court order or marriage or otherwise by operation of law.The cops always want to question the kids without the parents being present but don't give in or other wise get a lawyer! Good Luck!
