Post: Miranda Law Does it Apply to Minors

Posted by Rudy on 3/09/06

My Question is does the Miranda Law Apply to Minors, My son
14yrs old. was charged 2 weeks ago for assault against a
teacher and was questioned in the office of the assitant
Principal and the police officer about what he did. Now,
take in mind Me as the parent was not present nor advised
of the situation until my son came home that he received a
citation from the officer for an assault and all my son did
was shove the teacher back but that is another long story.
What I like to know is that my son just like anyone else
has rights especially if he is about to be charged with a
serious offense, and not to have his parents there or call
us and tell us about this until after he was given the
citation, can someone please help me understand this better.
