Chicago, IL asked in Juvenile Law for Missouri

Q: Can police officers stop my 15 year old son's while walking home from school and start questioning them ?

They stopped them and another boy and were asking them all kinds of questions and accusing them of them of breaking into buildings and doing drugs. I was not notified nor was I present when the officers did this.
