Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generally, the presence of a minor's parents or legal guardians during police questioning is considered to be a mitigating factor in determining whether the minor knowingly and voluntarily waived their constitutional rights. Having a trusted adult present can help ensure that the minor understands their rights and the consequences of giving up those rights. The other choices (attorney, forensic psychologist, victims) may also be beneficial, but the presence of a parent or guardian would likely have the strongest impact on a minor's decision to waive their rights.
