What to Do If Your Child Has Been Arrested
How the arrest of a child is handled can have a significant impact on the rest of his or her life. The arrest of an underage child is a family matter, and it is one which requires the expert handling of a juvenile defense attorney.
If your child has been arrested, you should tell your child:
- That he or she should not speak to the police. An officer may say things such as they “just want to talk” or that they “want to help” your child in order to obtain evidence
- Everything they say or do is being watched and recorded. Interrogation rooms have hidden tape recorders and cameras. This means that any conversation you have with your child will be secretly recorded and can be used against your child
- Not to write a letter of apology. An officer may tell a juvenile defendant that this will help their case when it will actually have a negative effect
