They do, but there is always a child protection case worker present who is looking out for the interests of the child i understand. And i have a foggy memory that is isn't a statement but something else and is treated differently in court.I am still confused about the laws about questioning minors in disappearances. I am correct in thinking the courts would frown upon it, could be seen as underhanded ?coercing ? (if that is the right word)Even with an advocate present ? So LE don't do interview minors ? Apologies, sometimes it takes me a while to wrap my head around things.
