NY S01099

Requires law enforcement to notify parents or guardians immediately before transporting a child to a police station house, rather than after taking custody.

Eliminates the ability of officers to take children to interrogation facilities or residences without first attempting to release them or take them to family court.

Mandates that children cannot be questioned unless they have consulted with an attorney in person, by telephone, or by video conference, and this consultation cannot be waived.

Requires suppression of statements made by children who did not consult with an attorney as required, or when a parent/guardian was not advised of and did not voluntarily waive their rights.

Applies these protections to juvenile offenders and sixteen and seventeen year olds arrested by police and peace officers.
