Q: I received a voicemail from a detective wanting to question my 13 yr old as a witness about an incident, must i comply?
The incident involved another student who was touching himself during a school show in the cafeteria. He was playing his switch video and seemed not to be aware he was touching himself since he didn't realize some students noticed. One student told the teacher but nothing came about it and that was months ago. Not sure why the detective is calling this long after to question him. I don't want my child involved much less as a witness. What options do I have?
A:
You could do nothing.
You could cooperate.
You could complain later should someone do something to a loved one when there was a non cooperative witness, that the other person was too selfish to care
