In an April story the police from questioning minors without a lawyer present. Of course this relates to the Steven Avery case, but it makes sense for all minors.
Wisconsin law currently fails………., as it only requires law enforcement to immediately attempt to notify the child’s parent or guardian. In the case of my daughter law enforcement did not immediately attempt to notify her parents, and neither did the Crivitz School system. Does someone who possibly killed and tortured an innocent woman and burned her body, have more rights than a Crivitz student who did virtually nothing? What the hell is wrong with this picture? Who is petitioning on behalf of a 17 year old student-athlete?
In 2005, the Wisconsin Supreme Court exercised its supervisory power to require that all custodial interrogations of juveniles be recorded. This also did not happen. What is wrong with this picture? It says required, not recommended! You may think this case, and the injustices are old, but they are not nearly as old as the Steve Avery case that is still being talked about every day. Who’s talking about 3 young girls who also got screwed over, by the very people that were supposed to be looking out for them. Yes, Pat Mans, I’m talking to you. Sleeping well? I sure hope not. Stay tuned.
The Truth According to Dave 
I have friends that are or were teachers. All of them agree that minors should not be questioned by school administration or the police without their parents or a guardian present. Most say their school’s policy and common sense provide the guidance in cases like these. None of them would want to get caught in the middle or sued. Leave it to Crivitz to worry about drug testing the good kids and not having a common sense policy about handling minors.
