2005 Vermont Code - § 5524. — Juvenile proceedings

§ 5524. Juvenile proceedings

A child charged with a delinquent act need not be a witness against, nor otherwise incriminate, himself; any extra-judicial statement, if constitutionally inadmissible in a criminal proceeding, shall not be used against him; and evidence illegally seized or obtained shall not be used over objection to establish the charge against him. A confession out of court is insufficient to support an adjudication of delinquency unless corroborated in whole or in part by other substantial evidence. (1967, No. 304 (Adj. Sess.), § 22.)
