In the case of State of Wisconsin v. Jerrell C.J., July 2005 the Wisconsin Supreme Court found that:

• juvenile's written confession to police was not voluntarily given;
• following the arrest of a juvenile, the failure of police to call the juvenile's parents for the purpose of depriving the juvenile of the opportunity to receive advice and counsel will be considered strong evidence that coercive tactics were used to elicit the juvenile's incriminating statements; and
• pursuant to Supreme Court's supervisory power to ensure fair administration of justice, all custodial interrogation of juveniles shall be electronically recorded where feasible, and without exception when questioning occurs at a place of detention.
