A. At 10 yoa, Johnny is not old enough legally to be left alone. By law, Johnny should not have been interviewed without a parent present. There must be a reasonable effort to locate johnny's parents. Probable cause exist when the police matched the description of the stolen bike with the bike Johnny was riding and because Johnny is an supervised juvenile. The search was incidental to arrest and is "procedure" for safety reasons. The juvenile offense is a misdemeanor.
