Legally the minor has to have an adult advocate with them before police can question them. Normally that is the parents unless the suspected crime is child abuse or some such or if the parents are unavailable. In which case they will call in a child advocate from social services.
Then maybe the question should switch from requirement to enforcement. Because from what I see and read it seldom to never happens that way, and there is never any sort of negative consequence for ignoring any requirement.
