According to the law, a juvenile has the right to have which individual present?

A juvenile has the right to have a trusted adult present during interactions with law enforcement. This individual can provide emotional support, guidance, and a sense of security for the juvenile during what can be a stressful experience. The presence of a trusted adult ensures that the juvenile rights are respected and allows for better communication between the juvenile and law enforcement officers. This is particularly important in situations where minors may not fully understand their rights or the legal situation they are facing.

While having a lawyer present is also important for a juvenile's legal protection, the law emphasizes the immediate right to have a trusted adult present during questioning. This does not exclude the possibility of having a lawyer involved; however, the primary focus in this context is the support and assurance that a trusted adult can provide to the juvenile.
