But hours after the failed attack, his family said it was outraged by the way it was targeted by law enforcement, including pulling a teenage relative from class and questioning him without a parent, guardian or attorney present. Their anger is understandable here, though. Agreed. No, it isn't. The parents could have been in on it given that the bomb was built in their house. They're not going to get any useful info that way. Thats no excuse to interrogate a kid, who may not fully understand his rights, without his parents/guardians or a lawyer there to help prevent him from being frightened into a false confession. He wan't being accused of a crime, so there was no "confession" to get. This was not an interrogation, despite the apologist lawyer trying to frame it that way, so there was no obligation to contact the parents. Police are allowed to question kids without parents present, and sometimes it's actually mandatory (such as in parental abuse questioning). --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:892196946] in Family of ...
