Juveniles involved in delinquency must be accorded similar due process rights as is afforded to adults. That's the US Supreme Court's decision in the case known as In Re Gault, dated May 15, 1967. This reinforced the protection of juveniles under the 14th Amendment, and their right to confront witnesses and right to counsel that is guaranteed by the 6th Amendment.
