A:
I agree with my colleague. However, your child's age and maturity is taken into consideration whenever any interview/interrogation is conducted. If you believe your child's rights may have been violated, it may be best to contact an attorney to discuss the specifics of your circumstances.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.

A: I agree with my colleagues. The police can question the child with notification. They would need to take age appropriate measures to do so, of course. Since they advised to not call the parent they must have felt it was not necessary. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
