Are the police allowed to question minors without a parent or an attorney present?

Both minors are younger than 10 years of age and one of them has sever emotional disabilitiesAre the police allowed to question minors without a parent or an attorney present?
police can question any one they want to doesn't mean they can use the info though.Are the police allowed to question minors without a parent or an attorney present?
Yes.
They can do whatever they want. If it is illegal, they just lie about it. If it is not in a report, it didn't happen.
IF they are questioning them as a SUSPECT, the rules may be different. If they are questioning them as a WITNESS, they can question anyone without any 'representation'.
A minor can be questioned even in court. The police have the right to question public citizens of any age.
