## Text

Law enforcement officers who arrest juveniles in federal cases must follow notification requirements mandated by 18 U.S.C. § 5033. These include advice to an arrested juvenile of constitutional rights and notice of the juvenile’s placement into custody to the United States Attorney and the juvenile’s parent(s) or custodian(s). The arresting officers must also notify the parent(s) or custodian(s) of the rights of the juvenile, and of the nature of the alleged offense. The Ninth Circuit has further held that when a juvenile is in custody, officers must advise parents of their rights to confer with the juvenile before the juvenile is interrogated.
United States v. Wendy G.
, 255 F.3d 761, 767 (9th Cir. 2001).
