Can police question my 16-year-old son during an investigation without notifying me first?

Unfortunately the answer is yes. The law in California is that the police do not have to get the parents permission to speak to a minor about an alleged crime. The police can speak to the minor without his parents being present. Hopefully some day this law will change.
