What should I do if I have received a call from law enforcement regarding a complaint of criminal activity made against my child?
As the focus of a criminal investigation, your child has the same rights as an adult in the same situation. It is routinely not advisable to cooperate with law enforcement as anything that your child may say or do will be used against him or her in a juvenile delinquency proceeding. Before speaking with law enforcement, you should seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
