Does a police officer's failure to notify the parents of a minor who has been charged with assault have an adverse effect on the fundamental fairness of the juvenile's adjudication?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. P.S., 125 F.3d 859 (9th Cir. 1997):

Appellant's reliance on United States v. Doe, 701 F.2d 819, 822-23 (9th Cir.1983) ("Doe I"), is unavailing. In Doe I, we found no due process violation where the arresting officer's failure to notify the juvenile's parents had no adverse effect on the fundamental fairness of the proceeding. Id. at 822. In that case we found no due process violation, in part, because defense counsel immediately contacted the juvenile's mother and the juvenile had a reasonable opportunity to prepare for the adjudication proceeding. See Id.
