(a)
A party is entitled to the opportunity to introduce evidence and otherwise be
heard in his or her own behalf and to cross-examine adverse witnesses.
(b)
A child charged with a delinquent act need not be a witness against or otherwise
incriminate himself or herself. An extrajudicial statement obtained in the
course of violation of this article or one which would be constitutionally
inadmissible in a criminal proceeding shall not be used against such child.
Evidence illegally seized or obtained shall not be received over objection to
establish the allegations made against a child. A confession validly made by the
child out of court is insufficient to support an adjudication of delinquency
unless it is corroborated in whole or in part by other evidence.
