I do not believe that a child can be questioned on a criminal matter without you or a lawyer present.

I was, but that was a few decades back. Not sure if things have changed. Further, lawyer presence is only required if a suspect states that desire.

Teach your kids to ask for their parents if they are accused or questioned about anything they are uncomfortable with. If the kid doesn’t cooperate without the parents present then it may diffuse the gung-ho interrogators. We were taught by our grandparents to always shut our yaps and ask to have our parents present if we were in trouble. My grandparents grew up in the early part of the last century and were use to abuses by those in authority - at work and at school. One thing you didn’t do was talk about family or family business with anyone who wasn’t family.
