What happens if all these rules are not followed when my daughter made a statement?

At a Youth Court hearing, her lawyer will ask questions about any statement she made. The lawyer may try to show that the rules were not followed, so that any statement she made should not be allowed to be used in court as evidence against her. The Youth Court judge will make a decision about whether or not her statement can be used.
