Is attorney-client privilege applicable to statements by a minor?

In De Los Santos v. Superior Court (1980) 27 Cal.3d 677, 166 Cal.Rptr. 172, 613 P.2d 233, the court was presented with the issue of whether the attorney-client privilege was applicable to statements by a minor, made to his mother (and guardian ad litem in the minor's personal injury case) in response to questions the mother asked the minor at the request of their attorney for the purpose of answering interrogatories and preparing for trial. In holding that the statements were privileged, the court rejected the defendant's claim that any privilege was waived due to the mother's verification of the answers to interrogatories. (Id., at p. 685, 166 Cal.Rptr. 172, 613 P.2d 233.)
