What is the industry practice when taking a statement from a youth under 18?

To ignore their age
To interview them without consent
To obtain permission from guardians
To only take notes

The correct answer is: To obtain permission from guardians

When taking a statement from a youth under 18, it is important to obtain permission from their guardians. This is because minors do not have the legal capacity to provide consent on their own and their guardians are responsible for making decisions on their behalf. Option A, ignoring their age, is incorrect as it goes against legal requirements and ethical considerations. Option B, interviewing them without consent, is incorrect as minors do not have the legal capacity to provide consent on their own. Option D, only taking notes, is incorrect as it does not involve obtaining permission from guardians, which is a necessary step when taking a statement from a youth under 18.
