Defense attorneys . . . say the state has "effectively kidnapped" the girl"When you take a child and put her in jail and deny her access to counsel because she refuses to be labeled a material witness, essentially it's an abuse of power," attorney Alex Folk said. "I don't think the state has the right to put a 14-year-old in jail without due process.

This would all be true if the CHILD's parents were objecting or unaware, but apparently there's not a peep of protest from them. The girl is right where her parents want her, so I don't see a problem. She also hasn't been charged with a crime, so has no need for an attorney. No doubt she'll be dealt with after the perp's trial, and dispatched to some juvenile facility where she'll receive "treatment", also without any objection from her parents, who have apparently grasped that she's more than they can handle.
